Choro is a Brazilian instrumental genre born in Rio de Janeiro in the late 1800s, blending European dance forms (polka, waltz, mazurka) with Afro-Brazilian syncopation. It’s known for bright, intricate melodies, fast runs, and conversational counterpoint, often delivered with a mix of precision and swing. Typical ensembles feature flute or mandolin leading over guitar and cavaquinho, with pandeiro adding crisp rhythmic drive, though modern choro also embraces accordion and richly voiced guitar. Despite its virtuosity, choro keeps a warm, lyrical core—music for both listening and lively roda-style jam sessions. Listen to the latest Choro music!
