Beautiful Brazilian "choro" music, July 10, 2005
This review is from: Os Choros Dos Chorões (Audio CD)
Brazilian "choro" music is a dazzling instrumental style that dates back to the early 20th Century, and is similar in many ways to early traditional jazz or American Dixieland music.
Here is a delightful, first-class collection of the best, classic choro recordings. This nostalgia album originally came out in 1977, packed with lively performances from four giants of the choro style, saxophonist Pixinguinha, flautist Benedicto Lacerda, mandolin master Jacob Do Bandolim and bandleader Canhoto, all recorded in top form between 1946-52. This disc is a perfect introduction to the best of the genre, and is a delight to listen to... Highly recommended!
