Quinteto Violado
The instrumental group started in Recife (capital of Pernambuco, NE), in 1971, rescuing and reviewing traditional and folk northeastern music through the utilization of classical music elements. They have made or played in over 25 albums since 1972, performing all over Brazil and in other countries. They have also established a consistent educational work, giving workshops at schools in Pernambuco. Among many remarkable discs, they have released Berra Boi (1973), A Feira (1974), Folguedo (1975), Missa do Vaqueiro (1976), Pilogamia do Baião (1979) and Coisas que Lua Canta (1983). By the late 90s, they created the Quinteto Violado Foundation to promote culture. In 1998, Gilvandro Filho wrote their story in the book Bodas de Frevo - A História do Quinteto Violado.
