Frevo is the carnival music from Northeastern Brazil. This frantic dance is traditionally played in the streets by brass and percussion instruments. The passo is the name of the art of dancing the frevo, which combines strength, energy and grace. This piece was written in 1992 and is dedicated to Fred Wickstrom and his ensemble, Merged Marimbas, at the University of Miami.
The Portuguese title "Fred no Frevo" translates as "Fred Dancing the Frevo".
