The Orquestra Contemporânea de Olinda formed in Olinda, Brazil in 1995, founded by maestro Alceu Valença. The group works with traditional folkloric sounds and modern composition, heard on tracks like 'Canto Da Sereia' and 'Ladeira' from their catalog.
Their debut album was self-titled, and they later released 'O Canto da Sereia.' The orchestra has collaborated with artists including Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso.
They've received recognition like the Prêmio da Música Brasileira. The song 'Canto Da Sereia' features lyrics by Valença that draw on themes of the ocean and Brazilian folklore.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
