FREVO

The dancer presents herself at the Pátio de São Pedro, a place of traditional folklore in the city behind Saint Peters church in the center of Recife, a much visisted religious temple. Frevo is for the people of Recife as afoxé is for the people of Bahia. When the frevo-march from Vassourinha school sounds at carnival only the dead resist dancing. The picture measures 65cm by 45cm.

One hundred years are not one hundred days. Gorgeous representation and homage to this Brazilian dance.
