Choro is a traditional Brazilian music genre that originated in the late 19th century. It combines elements of European classical music, African rhythms, and Brazilian folk styles. Characterized by its lively melodies and intricate improvisation, Choro often features instruments like the bandolim (a type of mandolin), flute, and cavaquinho (a small string instrument). Choro is typically performed in small ensembles, emphasizing the interaction between musicians. The genre has a rich repertoire, including both original compositions and adaptations of popular tunes. Today, Choro continues to evolve, attracting new audiences while preserving its cultural heritage.
