The musicians of Trio Por Do Sol are modern practitioners of a tradition that's about 140 years old but continues to be re-defined. At its very core, Choro is a hybrid style, with roots in Europe and Africa. Brazil claims Choro as its first own urban music (from Rio). It's also very important to Brazilian identity, which is profoundly multi-racial. Currently, choro is practiced along a continuum of tradition and modernity, and the music has been blended with jazz and bluegrass and klezmer and even baroque music. In most contexts, it is a vehicle for improvisation, although the expectations are somewhat different than in jazz. We have a repertoire that mixes old and new choro compositions; we create our own arrangements and improvise around these forms. Fresh and fascinating music.
