Frevo is a wide range of musical styles originating from Recife, Brazil, all of which are traditionally associated with Carnival. The word frevo is said to come from fervor, a variant of the Portuguese word fever (to boil). It is said that the sound of the frevo will make listeners and dancers feel as if they are boiling on the ground. Dancers hold teeny little umbrellas.
