An online workshop by Jovino Santos Neto in three Saturday sessions:
January 16, 23 and 30, 2021 from 10AM to noon (Pacific)
In this series of three weekly Zoom sessions, I will share with participants how a unique musical language created in Rio de Janeiro in the 1860s evolved, adapted and continues to thrive worldwide. We’ll meet the pioneers, the developers, the innovators and the keepers of the flame of choro as we travel through more than 150 years of music history.
In each 2-hour session I will share recordings, documents, scores and many stories about this musical genre that combines European musical structures with African rhythmic esthetics, resulting in a powerful Brazilian sound that continues to attract musicians and listeners of all ages and is incorporated into many other genres. The music will be heard and discussed within the social, political and cultural context of its times.
Session 1 – January 16 – the birth of choro as a unique blend of different sources in the 19th century.
Session 2 – January 23 – the evolution of choro as it gathers wider influences and grows through the first half of the 20th century.
Session 3 – January 30 – recent developments and future trends as choro expands worldwide.
