The playful and almost cheeky opening to ‘A Furiosa’ is slightly deceptive as to the character of the rest of the piece. What ensues is a wonderfully catchy and fun melody based around the energetic dance rhythm of the Brazilian Maxixe. Bellinati wrote this piece as a tribute to the incredibly virtuosic and talented street musicians of Brazil, known affectionately as ‘The Furious Ones’ on account of their astonishing technique and speed. This fun dance is full of rhythmic excitement and flair.
