Film Description

A musical documentary and tribute to 'choro', the first genuinely Brazilian urban music. In the late 19th century in Rio de Janeiro, Brazilian musicians started to blend European melodies, Afro-Brazilian rhythms and the melancholic interpretation of the Brazilian Indians' music to create Choro, the style credited as being the first musical expression of Brazil's melting pot and which has 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. The film remembers the history but shows above all a colorful picture of Choro's vitality today.
