Choro is the first authentic urban Brazilian music style that has existed since the end of the XIX century. Today it can be heard on almost every continent. It is a unique mixture of European classical and salon music, underlaid with Afro-Brazilian rhythms.Choro is also a lifestyle. Members of different communities visit each other to take part in rodas (jam sessions), which contributes to an intensive cultural and personal exchange.
The project “Chora Berlim” and the album of the same name document such an exchange: the best representatives of Rio de Janeiro's lively scene play together with chorões from Hamburg and Berlin. Most of the compositions were written by the German-Ukrainian singer and composer Rosa Morena Russa, alias Kateryna Ostrovska. After its release in Germany, the album met with a very positive response in Europe, Brazil, Japan and South Korea. Some of the tracks can now be heard at the Rodas in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Nuremberg and Fortaleza.
This evening, the compositions of the album will be presented live by a four-persons no borders band, that unites chorões from different places:
Lucas Madeira – flute (Florianópolis/Berlin)
Flavio Nunes - 7 Cordas guitar (São Paulo/Düsseldorf)
Kateryna Ostrovska – Cavaquinho (Kyiv/Hamburg)
Matthias Haffner – Pandeiro (Rotterdam/Berlin)
A selection of well-known choros and sambas will also be presented to the audience.
