Orquestra Contemporânea de Olinda

The Orquestra Contemporânea de Olinda has built its own identity among latin grooves, afro beats, and the rhythms of Pernambuco, Brazil. It embodies the symbol of strength and inventiveness of the music of Pernambuco that has become popular in Brazil and around the world. The Orquestra was conceived by Gilú and now includes ten of the best Pernambuco musicians. Though they come from different backgrounds, Orquestra musicians share one thing in common: they were not satisfied with the traditional bass-drums-guitar band formation. They wanted to make innovative music in every respect, from the avant-garde reinvention of the classics to the smoothness of excellent melodic lines.
