Brasilerinho shows the history and above all today`s vitality of one of the most original Brazilian musical styles, choro music, or chorinho, as it`s often called. As the first real Brazilian instrumental music, choro has evolved over 130 years into a fascinating modern tropical music form. It was back in the late 19th century in Rio de Janeiro when Brazilian musicians stopped composing and playing the European way and started to mix for the first time European melodies and afro-rythms, creating choro. Mostly instrumental, choro was performed in dancing and concert halls and can be understood as the first musical expression of the then emerging urban middle class in Rio de Janeiro. Choro remained the main popular music style until the 1920s, leading directly to samba and later to bossa nova. World known music titles are “Tico-tico no fuba” and “Brasileirinho” and since its very beginning, almost every Brazilian composer has been influenced by and composed choros, from Villa-Lobos to Nazarå, Baden Powell, Tom Jobim, Chico Buarque, Toquinho, Paulinho da Viola, Hermeto Pascoal, Guinga and many more. After some more silent years, choro music has made a remarkable come-back since 1990. Albeit counting with little exposure in today´s commercial entertainment media, choro is being rediscovered by Brazil`s younger generation and the rare concerts fill with enthusiasm the public in Europe, the USA and in Japan. Modern choro covers a diversity of styles, from chamber orchestras to dance bands, the so-called gafieiras and jazz-inspired combos, all with the unmistakable Brazilian sound. After the discovery of the tango, salsa, samba and flamenco, choro remains the
last authentic Latino music to be brought to international life.
