Cariopa and the Brazilian Choro

About Me

Cariopa (a blend of carioca, the inhabitants of Rio and Europa) Cariopa is a group of European musicians with a common passion: the Brazilian choro. They all travelled, lived, studied and gave concerts in Brazil with the result of an authentic Brazilian sound and swing, rare and unique in Holland. They play the lyrical and virtuose music in original setting by famous Brazilian composers like, Jacob de Bandolim, Waldir Azevedo, Paulinho da Viola, Hermeto Pascoal and others.

Sounds Like: What is Choro? It was back in the late 19th century in Rio de Janeiro when Brazilian musicians started to blend European melodies, Afro-Brazilian rhythms and the melancholic interpretation of the Brazilian Indians' music to create Choro. Choro is credited as being the first musical expression of Brazil's melting pot and had a prominent place in the development of Brazil's cultural identity. Choro remained a major popular music style until the 1920s, leading directly into Samba and later to Bossa Nova. After a slight decline in popularity, Choro music has made a remarkable comeback over the past few decades.
