Guitarists Roge_rio Souza (one of the foremost representatives of the music of Rio de Janeiro and pioneer of the Choro Novo style and arranger for a widely used choro songbook, Choro book Vol. 1) and Edinho Gerber (a multi-cultural and genre-crossing artist) have performed together over the last ve years as Duo Viola_o, developing a truly unique sound and approach to performing the music of their home country. 2019 marks the release of their first album, A Histo_ria do Choro, where the duo joins forces with Ami Molinelli, an American pandeiro player and percussionist, to create Duo Viola_o + 1.Their in-depth and interactive workshop, developed over many years and presented at numerous universities, covers the rhythms and musical genres that helped Choro become the greatest art form from Brazil. From the pre-choro style, Lundu, through Tango-Habanera, Polka, Maxixe and culminating with Modern Choro and Choro-Samba, the group traces the evolution of the music in a clear and effective way while giving a real sense of its cultural impact and musical reverberations it created throughout the world. Bio: Duo Viol‹o Brasil is the result of guitarists RogŽrio Souza and Edinho GerberÕs reverence for Brazilian guitar, the Òviol‹oÓ, and their desire to explore and expand the musical possibilities of putting two Òviol›esÓ together. With repertoire from composers like Pixinguinha, Baden Powell, and Tom Jobim, the duo navigates effortlessly through the many styles of 20th century Brazilian popular music while showcasing original works and inventive arrangements. Workshop made possible with generous support from LP.
