BrasileirinhoMika Kaurismäki, 2005 Film DescriptionA 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. ReviewsShare your thoughts - write a review Related Genres£7.99
