Olinda is known for its sacrilege dances, which are heavily celebrated there. Samba schools have less tradition in Recife. The largest are Samba do Zé, A Oriente, Preto Velho and Marrom e Branco.
Frevo
"" O frevo not convida. Arrasta. Sua efervescência rítmica é qualquer coisa de imãtético, contra a qual é difícil resistir ! ». - The Frevo does not invite. He carries you away. Its boiling rhythm is immaterial, something that is hard to resist. "
The Frevo has been the typical dance in Recife and Olinda during Carnival for over 100 years. Even today it comes from the tradition from the early years of the 20th century. In 1901 the first carnival association was founded in Olinda: Misto As Pás, followed by Troça Carnavalesca As Cigarreiras, Clube Carnavalesco Misto Lenhadores, Clube Carnavalesco Misto Vassourinhas and others. Just like in Recife, the carnival has a very democratic and popular character. The Frevo trains follow a certain pattern in one direction and then back again in the opposite direction. The Frevo is a fusion of Afro-Brazilian and European musical elements and is borrowed from military marches, polka, tango, quadrilhas, Scottish dances and maxixes . The Frevo generally includes very colorful costumes and the characteristic brightly colored small umbrellas. Apart from frevo be maracatu , samba , Manguebeat and other styles of music played.
