I love this!! The music of Brazil is some of the best music in the world

Obrigado! 🎼

@Smartly Wealthy thank their African roots!

[@castelodomar846]

I play choro and I can confirm it is indeed the best music ever. Extremely technical as well. You don't just play choro. You have to study it and practice really hard. It's like jazz on steroids 😂🎶💃🕺

I, as brazilian, feel so proud of hearing our Chorinho in this channel. This is the music we wanna show the world, not anitta or anything else. Samba, choro, bossa nova, THIS is Brazil!

[@camilomaiapires6534]

i agree, concordo plenamente

[@brun0xbass]

boa mano! bossa nova, choro e samba são estilos que nos trazem orgulho. fico muito feliz quando vejo em canais do exterior, ainda mais quando são interpretados por musicos tao talentosos!

[@tassiogomes]

Vitor Barradas é verdade.

[@zEufraMine]

Eu ia comentar exatamente isso! De tantas coisas ruins é gratificante ver algo que ainda nos dê orgulho de ser brasileiro e pessoas que ainda sabem desfrutar do melhor do Brasil.. Acaba dando uma pitada de esperança de que ainda vale a pena lutar por ele!

[@luisfernandodosreissouza9376]

Concordo Brasil é rico em estilos musicais

[@fernandogaray1681]

That intro to the accordion solo at 3:06 blew my mind away!!!!!! There's no way that could be so amazing! Clarinet' solo goes out playing that lick, then accordion' solo starts playing the same lick, and after that, choro' plays the same lick behind the accordion' solo!!!!! It's amazing!!!!! Bravo!!! I'm flabbergasted

[@davezinn6810]

The clarinet, her clarinet is PERFECT for this music which I just discovered! Amazing!!!

[@guilhermelamounier1818]

Choro ou chorinho, é um gênero musical que surge no Brasil no início do século XX, se caracteriza pela junção de vários instrumentos do samba, alguns instrumentos de corda, outros de sopro sempre tocados por virtuosos musicistas. Pixinguinha e Jacob do Bandolim são dois do maiores artistas desse estilo musical contagiante.

[@greendesert69]

hmm I detect some klezmer hints in and a whole lotta jazz in this choro, but the talent of the players is undeniable.

[@erich191]

In fact, the similarities between choro and jazz have always existed, both practically from the same symbiosis and ancestral roots, they are popular songs with a high level of sophistication, they have always demanded a lot from their performers, they need to be virtuosos and improvisers..... ......even documents prove that the improved instrument of the Oficleide, by Adolf Sax, the saxophone, was used first in choro than in New Orleans jazz. The accent is changed and the swing fell, but the melodic lines of a Pixinguinha, an Abel Ferreira, a Jacob do Bandolim and etc.... could perfectly be lines of Be bop , and swing, ........ ..many parts of melodies and improvisations by Benny Goodman, Charlie Parker and other masters resemble crying. The similarity with choro is most evident in Gypsy Jazz, many of the Belgian/French jazz sounds resemble choros, vide; " Vôo da Mosca "( Jacob Bandolim ) , Ginga do Mané ( Jacob do Bamdolim) , Desvairada( Garoto) , and so many other topics....

[@Beowulf_93]

A few decade? 2 generation before

[@renatolima1166]

O Chorinho é mais antigo que o ragtime, estilo que gerou o Jazz.

[@renatolima1166]

Chorinho é invenção Carioca. Para o Brasil no Rio só tem Funk e Carnaval. O Brasil não tem o direito de chamar o Choro Carioca de seu.

[@eduardocampos6826]

A moral da historia é: choro é mais legal que Jazz!!!

[@alvarodeazevedo3933]

Choro não pode ser pai do samba, pois o samba é mais antigo. Na Bahia, nordeste do Brasil, já existia samba de roda no século XIX. Ou seja, o próprio samba não é específico do Rio de janeiro. Desenvolve-se em vários Estados Brasileiros, o que inclui o Rio de Janeiro.

[@marechalrotterdeyerakia9434]

você não confundiu com o Lundu?

[@alvarodeazevedo3933]

@@marechalrotterdeyerakia9434 Não. Registros históricos apontam uma origem ainda mais antiga no recôncavo baiano, através do samba de roda. Alguns querem atribuir o nascimento no RJ do século XX, o que é um absurdo historiográfico.

Não fala M! O Chorinho Carioca é mais antigo que o Samba. Não tente mudar a história só porque és recalcado.
