Choro

Choro is a lively Brazilian music genre that sprouted in the late 19th century; it’s basically what happens when you mix European classical influences with African rhythms and the determined spirit of a genteel party. Often featuring a delightful combination of flutes, mandolins, and guitars, it sounds like a musical race between the instruments, each trying to out-sparkle the last whilst occasionally stopping for a cheeky cup of tea. Its charm lies in its improvisational flair, ensuring that no two performances are ever quite the same, much to the delight or confusion of audiences everywhere.
