The birth of the beats of Brazil!
In Rio in the late 1800s, Brazilian musicians started to blend European melodies, Afro-Brazilian rhythms and a melancholic interpretation of the native Indians’ music: Choro was born. Uniquely Brazilian, it was the first musical expression of Brazil’s identity as a cultural melting pot, and led directly to Samba and later, Bossa Nova. Still popular today, BRASILEIRINHO traces the roots, practitioners and liveliness of THE modern tropical sound.
