Inaldo Cavalcante de Albuquerque, better known as Spok, is a Brazilian sax player who is one of the main frevo composers in the state of Pernambuco. His big band, composed of 18 musicians is considered one of the most important frevo groups in the city of Recife. It has performed in many countries of the world, spreading the frevo rhythm. Spok has played with many other Brazilian artists, such as Raimundo Fagner, Alceu Valença, Antonio Nóbrega, Elba Ramalho, Geraldo Azevedo, Sivuca, Naná Vasconcelos and Rivotrill. Spok has been called the new frevo ambassador for his contributions to the development and spread of the frevo rhythm.
Inaldo Cavalcante de Albuquerque was born in Igarassu, Pernambuco, Brazil. However, he lived in Abreu e Lima for most of his childhood, and began his musical studies there in 1984. Two years later, in 1986, he moved to Recife, where he worked with the greatest conductors and composers of Pernambuco of the day, such as Maestro Ademir Araújo, Maestro Clóvis Pereira and Maestro Guedes Peixotos.
Strange days indeed
different lies, different whys
Strange days indeed
different views, different news
There once was a time
when the future was bright
and dreams of the world
were cosmopolite
Where only rockets fly
into the great wide open sky
reaching to the highest high
you're not alone
Those were the days
neon light, black & white
Those were the days
No gravity, no misery
But now it's not too late
no need to loose the faith
The world is here for you
Let's change it to something new
Where only rockets fly
into the great wide open sky
reaching to the highest high
