Frevo is a wide range of musical styles originating from Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, all of which are traditionally associated with Brazilian Carnival. The word frevo is said to come from frever, a misspeaking 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.
The frevo music came first. By the end of the 19th century, bands from the Brazilian Army regiments based in the city of Recife started a tradition of parading during the Carnival. Since the Carnival is originally linked to Catholicism, they played religious procession marches and martial music, as well. A couple of regiments had famous bands which attracted lots of followers and it was just a matter of time to people start to compare one to another and cheer for their favorite bands. The two most famous bands were the Espanha (meaning Spain), whose conductor was of Spanish origin, and the 14, from the 14th regiment. The bands started to compete with each other and also started playing faster and faster, louder and louder.
Some tough men used to go ahead of the band, opening space to its parade by bullying people on the streets and threatening them with capoeira (Afro-Brazilian martial art and dancing) and knives. Eventually, when the bands met each other in the streets, fights between the capoeiristas were inevitable. These fights normally ended up with many wounded and even dead.
In order to end the violence, the police started to pursue the capoeiras and arrested many during their exhibitions. The latter reacted in a clever way by carrying umbrellas instead of knives and also disguising the capoeira movements as dance movements. The frevo dance was born.

Who misses are not alone
has the affection of recall
so when I am more isolated
I am in good company with you in the heart
A smile,
a hug and a flower
everything is you in imagination
coil or confetti, caranaval love
everything is you in the heart
you exist as an angel of kindness
and with me this Clover longing.
Rain postpones output Saint Paul block and transforms VIP area in 'gunk'
02/07/15 20:00 SAINT PAUL
The heavy rain that hit the metropolitan region of São Paulo on Saturday afternoon (7) delayed the departure from the band gueri gueri the square Gen. Estilac Lea (Monument to the Flags), the Ibirapuera Park region, where members and participants are concentrated.
Known for bringing artists and intellectual, the block had some technical equipment damaged, thus delaying the event in around two hours. The output forecast was around 17h.
Even the structured vip area, equipped with chemical toilets and 'food trucks', escaped the effects of rain.
The reserved area, which costs around R$ 140 and was initially a lawn in the open, was filled with mud.

An urban legend about the well-known monument, popularly called Push-push or Leave-Who-I-I push refers to the fact the vessel never leave the place, despite the quota that supposedly pulls. The "answer" lies in the fact that the figures ahead of the entourage were not really trying to move the canoe because the straps are visibly loose, as can be seen in the photo detail. The only figure that would be really struggling is the last, to push the boat.
