About Choro:

Choro, often affectionately termed as ‘chorinho’ (meaning ‘little cry’ or ‘little lament’), is an instrumental genre in Brazilian popular music, rooted in 19th-century Rio de Janeiro. Interestingly, in contrast to its name, the music often pulses with a lively and joyous rhythm. Distinguished by its virtuosity, improvisation, and subtle modulations, choro is replete with syncopation and counterpoint. It holds the honor of being the earliest urban popular music genre uniquely Brazilian in essence.
