Cordel do Fogo Encantado - from Arcoverde - mix different Brazilian musical genres, such as Samba de Côco, Toré Indígena, Embolada, and reisado, with pop-rock melodies. The band derives its name from cordel, a type of handmade illustrated pamphlet literature made by woodcut artists in NorthEastern Brazil.
Cordel do Fogo Encantado is associated with Pernambuco's Mangue Beat, a musical movement that is repopularizing traditional northeastern Brazilian folkloric musical genres by mixing them with rock and funk music.
