The tradition
Frevo is a dance and musical style originating from Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, traditionally associated with Brazilian Carnival. The word frevo is said to come from frever, a variant of the Portuguese word ferver (to boil). It is said that the sound of the frevo will make listeners and dancers feel as if they are boiling on the ground. The word frevo is used for both the frevo music and the frevo dance. It was declared as Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2012, under the title "Frevo, performing arts of the Carnival of Recife".¶
