SpokFrevo Orquestra March 16, 2012

In Brazil, the frevo is one of the most exciting and consuming dance rhythms. The 18-piece Spokfrevo Orquestra will make its Houston debut performing enhanced traditional frevos with new arrangements that leave space for jazzy solos and improvisations. Led by conductor, music arranger and saxophonist Inaldo Cavalcante de Albuquerque (a.k.a. Maestro Spok), this high-energy ensemble brings together the sounds of electric guitars, the forró-associated accordion, trumpets, piccolos, clarinets, trombones and saxophones for an evening of world music at its best. “Frevo is a unique rhythm, different from all others; cheerful and with a special magic - the one to transmit happiness,” says Spok.
