Dear 2nd Grade Children,
I am having a wonderful time
flying all around Brazil. Today
I went to Recife, the capital
city of the State of
Pernambuco. After the match,
I relaxed on the sandy
beaches and enjoyed the warm
water. I was very careful
because there are many
sharks in the water here!
Yikes! I made some new friends
and they taught me
capoeira . This is a martial“ ”
art form that is a combination
of acrobatics, dance, music and
fighting stances.
Love, Red

3. Recife’s Host City poster portrays the
essence of a coastal city full of
movement, art and joy. Frevo, a style of
both music and dance, is Recife’s most
authentic and characteristic cultural
display. It first appeared in the city some
100 years ago and is today included on
the list of Brazilian intangible cultural
heritage.
With colourful umbrellas, dancers
perform an elaborate choreography that
seems to fill the world with delight. The
image shows a frevo dancer whose
movements resemble the acrobatics of
skilled football players – a combination
which is in fact the key note of the poster.
The cloud of dynamic movement created
by the dancer shows the city’s many
colours, highlighting its distinctive
landscape of bridges, rivers, boats and
rich architecture as well as revellers fully
enjoying carnival.
