Passo de anjo is the debut album of the Brazilian big band SpokFrevo Orquestra. Released in 2004, the album was praised for its innovation of frevo, which presents some influences from jazz, emphacizing improvisations. The album was firstly released independently. However, two years later, due to its success, it was released again by Biscoito Fino.[1]

The disc presents reinterpretations of old frevo classics, but also presents new compositions. Between many musicians which participated of its recording, one can cite Antonio Nóbrega, which plays violin in some songs.[2]

Passo de anjo was elected by O Estado de S. Paulo as one of the three best albums released in 2004.[1]
