The oldest genre in Brazilian music, choro, was born from the fusion of African lundu and styles of European origin, such as the waltz, the polka, the mazurka, the modinha and Scottish music. Joyful, melancholic, fast or slow, choro, also known as “Brazilian jazz,” has compositions written by figures such as the great Pixinguinha and Jacob do Bandolim. A popular feature of Brazilian music is the “roda de choro”—a kind of jam in which choro songs are spontaneously improvised and reinterpreted. Brazilians Gabriel Fortunato, Bruno Butenas and Jonas Santana are Tribu do Choro, a band founded in Barcelona the expertly performs a selection of the best of this type of music.
