Choro Events Tonight in Corfu

About Choro

Emerging in 19th-century Rio de Janeiro, Choro represents the first characteristically Brazilian urban popular music, blending European salon genres like polka and schottische with syncopated African rhythms. Traditionally performed by a terno consisting of flute, guitar, and cavaquinho, the genre emphasizes instrumental virtuosity and sophisticated counterpoint, often centered around a lead melodic instrument like the mandolin or saxophone. Characterized by its rapid 2/4 tempo and rondo-like structure, the music balances technical complexity with a vibrant, improvisational spirit that oscillates between nostalgic longing and exuberant celebration. As a foundational pillar for later developments in Samba and Bossa Nova, Choro remains a vital, living tradition celebrated for its intricate modulations and unique swing.
