Additional Information

The Choro Ensemble does a pioneering job in the US showing the most sophisticated and beautiful Brazilian music ever. Although most peope are not familiar with the CHoro style, the public falls in love with this genre of music that combines the classical European elements, Afro-Brazilian rhythms, improvisation and constant counterpoints between melody and the 7 string guitar.
More than merely playing Choro music for the American public, the Choro Ensemble also presents its own innovations in terms of arrangements and original compositions.
In its 6 years of existence, the Choro Ensemble has some stories to tell.
Anat Cohen- Clarinet
Dionisio Santos- Cavaquinho and Acoustic Guitar
Carlos Almeida- 7 String Guitar
Zé Mauricio- Pandeiro
