Choro is a Brazilian music style, very popular in the 1920s and 1930s, but still popular nowadays. This blog wants to share our passion for this music and its musicians like Pixinguinha, Jacob do Bandolim and Garoto, but also the contemporary generation of young talented musicans like YamandĂș Costa.
"New Choros of Brazil"(Proteus Entertainment 0016, 2005) is exactly as the title describes, a contemporary choro repertoire which was mostly written in the past few years expressly for guitarist Paulo Bellinati and clarinetist Harvey Wainapel. Although guitar and flute has been a common duet format in the past, the guitar/clarinet combination heard on "New Choros" is novel but nonetheless exhilarating despite such a minimalist pairing.
