Before the famous Brazilian Bossa Nova type of music we had Samba and before that, Choro. Each style evolved from its predecessor.

Many will translate the word choro as cry but nobody is sad. In old Portuguese, choro refers to the vibration of the strings of the acoustic guitar. But yes, it makes [...]]]> http://avi.alkalay.net/2007/08/bossa-nova-to-samba-to-choro.html/feed 2 Imigrante http://avi.alkalay.net/2007/06/imigrante.html http://avi.alkalay.net/2007/06/imigrante.html#comments Mon, 18 Jun 2007 01:39:22 +0000 Avi http://avi.alkalay.net/2007/06/imigrante.html O Brasil é um país de Imigrantes.

Gente que veio para cá cheio de esperanças em começar uma vida nova, de nações destruidas por preconceito, guerra, ou pela mão escravagista. Trouxeram sua cultura, sabores e música, muita música, para fazer do Brasil a colcha de retalhos colorida que é.

Os apreciadores avançados de vinho também encontram ameixas, pneu, madeira e pêssego em suas degustações, que na verdade não estão lá.

It was brought to Brazil by the first portuguese people, and modified and evolved, making it almost a genuine, Brazilian-only instrument now.

It is used mostly on country-side small cities or farm regions of Brazil.

OPC sort of brought a globalization conscience to brazilian instrumental music, mixing together a great number of instruments and musical styles. They are in evidence in the innovative tradition of brazilian jazz from São Paulo.
