Do you know Tio Chorinho? Tio Chorinho is a Toronto ensemble dedicated to performing Brazilian choro music in the tradition of the great mandolin master Jacob do Bandolim. Prepare for music equatable with absolute rhythmic charm and melodic extravagance. Choro (pronounced SHOH-roh) is a primarily instrumental musical form which originated in Rio de Janeiro in the mid-19th century. It is best described in American terms as “the New Orleans jazz of Brazil.” It is a complex popular musical form based on improvisation, and like New Orleans jazz, blues, or ragtime, grew from a formalized musical structure and many worldly influences. Tio Chorinho play the Redpath stage at Harbourfront Centre at 2pm on Monday September 1st. #AshkenazFest
