| Music from Finnish director Mika Kaurismaki’s documentary about Brazilian choro. Choro is Rio’s very own musical genre, distinct from samba and bossa nova, played in 2/4 time on guitars, woodwind and brass and exclusive to no particular class or race. Beautifully demonstrated here in its various forms from Yamandu Costa’s superb solo rendition of “Brejeiro” on the 7 string guitar to the infectious syncopated brass on “O Bom Filho a Casa Torna”. |
