Brazil’s Orquestra Contemporânea de Olinda to Showcase at globalFEST 2011

By WMC_News_Dept. Wednesday December 29, 2010

Brazilian sensation Orquestra Contemporânea de Olinda will be performing at globalFEST 2011 at New York City’s Webster Hall (125 E. 11th St.) on January 9.

This avant-garde big band wryly named Orquestra may sound grandiose, but is really more about a multi-generational good time. It brings together veteran members of the mangue beat scene in Pernambuco and an older generation of master players who have spent decades polishing the frevo carnival music of Brazil’s Northeast.

Together, they transform some of the region’s signature African rhythms and Latin melodies into a full-on funk and rock-inflected party, abounding with both experimental and roots-heavy moments.

Buy the band’s debut album:

  • In North America: Orquestra Contemporanea De Olinda
