"Parade-samba rhythms, echoey guitar, brass and reed sections alternately booming and muted with jazz arrangements, the rustic scrape of a violin and anthemic choruses."..."Remarkable" - The New York Times

Orquestra Contemporanea de Olinda brings together some of the best musicians of Pernambuco, â a state already known for its colorful rhythms and innovative music pioneers like Alceu Valenca, Nana Vasconcelos and Chico Science â who were not satisfied with the traditional bass-drums-guitar
formation â and decided to recruit members of the regions high energy Frevo orchestras to mix into their brew of Latin grooves, Afro beats and the rhythms of Pernambuco. Orquestra has built its own concise identity and a huge following in only a couple of years. While touring throughout Brazil the band recorded its first album, released in 2008 and distributed by Som Livre, the countryâs largest label. Hailed by the Brazilian press for their incredible live energy, music critic Ben Ratliff of The New York Times also took notice, as did the Latin Grammy Awards, who nominated them for Best Tropical
Brazilian Roots Album for 2009. Orquestra Contemporanea de Olinda now embarks on their US debut tour in March, which includes SXSW in Austin, Lincoln Center and also the Heineken TransAtlantic Festival in Miami Beach.
