== Summary ==

Castanheiro is a Pernambuco-born singer and percussionist whose career helped build the [[Forró]] scene in São Paulo. His work connects performing, recording, venues and broadcasting within a migrant city's musical life.<ref name="fr-ims">[https://ims.com.br/eventos/castanheiro-e-seus-garotos-convidam-forro-das-minas-ims-paulista/ IMS: Castanheiro and Forró das Minas (2023)].</ref>

== Life and career ==

The Instituto Moreira Salles documents his work with Pedro Sertanejo from the 1960s and recordings with artists including [[Luiz Gonzaga]], [[Dominguinhos]] and Anastácia. This history shows São Paulo as a place where forró was actively made and organized, not simply received from elsewhere.<ref name="fr-ims" />

== Music and style ==

Singing and percussion place Castanheiro within the living [[Traditional Forró]] world. His 2023 IMS performance joined his band with members of [[Forró das Minas]], adding pífano and rabeca to the ensemble. Such instrumentation expands the familiar trio image without severing the tradition.

== Works and performances ==

The IMS programme includes his 'Vendedor de Castanha' and 'Cheguei no Baile'. The documentary ''Castanheiro do Forró'', directed by Alfredo Bello, offers another route into the musician's history. These sources connect individual songs with the practical work of sustaining a scene.<ref name="fr-ims" />
