FOXXOTE
THE LATEST ALBUM IS OUT NOW!
Foxxote is Frank Almendra's current Brazilian music project, dedicated to the musical traditions of Northeastern Brazil. The group's repertoire and original work draw from forró, baião, coco, xote, and other regional forms. Foxxote is not about simply reproducing traditional music — it keeps these musical languages alive through performance, reinterpretation, original material, and new arrangement, rooted in the danceable rhythms and poetic traditions of the Brazilian Northeast while embracing the openness of Austin's live music community.
