The festival
Carnival is in full swing in Recife's streets, and on the Cais da Alfândega the Rec-Beat opens its stage: the sounds of tomorrow from Brazil, Latin America and Africa, free of charge, on the banks of the Capibaribe river.
Founded in 1995 by producer Antonio Gutierrez, Rec-Beat has become the great showcase for new music during Recife's Carnival. It celebrated its 30th anniversary on 14–17 February 2026. The next edition will follow the 2027 Carnival calendar.
