Bio The first thing many people notice about Brazilian choro is flowing melody, only a part of what makes choro so fascinating. The other parts, known as the Kitchen, are rhythm on cavaquinho, guitar and hand percussion, and bass lines on 7-string guitar. Without them, the beauty of the melody pales. For the third year, Choro Tocando explores Brazilian choro music and gets to the bones of choro by focusing on the Kitchen. Their straightforward presentation shows how elements of the Kitchen function and support each other. Breaking the style into easy to grasp components enables participants to join in playing by the workshop’s end. Bring your hand percussion or fretted instruments.
