Recife means Frevo!
When the word "Frevo" is mentioned in Brazil, one immediately thinks about Recife! This beautiful town is the birthplace of "Frevo", a very traditional Brazilian style of music and dance, mostly heard and seen during Carnival festivities. And Recife created, at the former premises of the "British Western Telegraph Company" (a neo classic building dated of 1908), the "Paço do Frevo": a museum envisaged to protect and promote this Unesco's appointed "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity". It is a beautiful museum, with a creative and colorful scenography, and a must-see at any visit to Recife. But I think it may be more interesting for Brazilians, that grew up hearing "Frevo" and watching (or even practicing) its quite difficult and acrobatic choreography. There are scheduled rehearsals, when dancers and musicians are performing live their incredible art! Check schedules before going. "Paço do Frevo" honors an important segment of Brazilian traditional culture! Enjoy!

Really Diferent
The place is completely amazing. You can understand the history and the culture of people. It is unbelievable to have something like this. The Local is very well organized. We had free ticket on Tuesday. You can dance and learn how to do it. Interact with place.
