Recife is one of the biggest cities in northeastern Brazil, its population is about 1,500,000 inhabitants, and it is the capital of Pernambuco that is situated in the northeastern part of the country. It is as well a very comfortable place all year round, due to its temperatures varying from 20-30 degrees Celsius. Located near the Atlantic Ocean, city was created to become a port city, which major exports being coffee, cotton wool and sugar.
Recife as well has a fast growing metropolitan and sightseer region that has been named Brazilian Venice for the reason that half of it is situated on the most important land, and the other one on an isle, which leads to it being divided by numerous diverse stunning waterways and linked by a range of bridges.
These Venice-like canals are not the only place of interest of this coastal city. Most arrive to see historical places created three-four centuries ago such as old constructions, cathedrals, and historical monuments.
A lot of tourists as well come to enjoy the view of the white sandy coasts There is as well the annual festivity in the city center that attracts tourists from many countries, it is famous as "Carnival", this festivity could be illustrated as a great circus like street merrymaking, and to my mind, it is similar to a more complicated version of "Mardi Gras" celebrated in North America. These actions, while all amusing and fascinating, may not be sufficient, and as a traveler, you might desire to see other attractive things in the town, for instance, local music.
Thus you might feel like listening to "Frevo" music. It was originated in Recife! Frevo music is frequently used in the festivity of Carnival. You may as well wish to learn a number of Frevo dances, it is too widely admired during the Carnival. So, Frevo is a kind of instrumental music, performed with very fast tempo with brass instruments. Most compare this kind of music to Czech polka, however, to my mind, Frevo gives the impression to be more exciting and lively.
