THE SOUND OF RIO: BRASILEIRINHO Friday, September 21 at 8pm and 10pm General Admission Tickets: $7 ($1.00 service fee) Mika Kaurismäki’s follow up to his travelogue “Moro No Brasil” Choro is Brazilian jazz, many people say. It could be true if Brazil's chorinho hadn't appeared before on the scene. After fading with the introduction of Bossa Nova in the '60s, the Brazilian music par excellence is getting a new lease of life. The Sound of Rio is a 90-minute swinging musical documentary film about Choro, the first genuinely Brazilian urban music that has evolved over the past 130 years into a fascinating form of modern tropical sound. It was back in the late 19th century in Rio de Janeiro when Brazilian musicians started to blend European melodies, Afro-Brazilian rhythms and the melancholic interpretation of the Brazilian Indians' music to create Choro. Mostly instrumental, Choro was performed in dancing, beer and concert halls and is credited as being the first musical expression of the then-emerging urban middle class in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's melting pot. Choro had a prominent place in the development of Brazil’s cultural identity and remained a major popular music style until the 1920s, leading directly into Samba and later to Bossa Nova. As Villa-Lobos said, “Choro is the essence and soul of Brazilian music.” Included in the official selection of the Berlin International Film Festival, the film features performances by Yamandu Costa, Trio Madeira Brasil, Paulo Moura, Zeze Gonzaga and more!
