Grupo Falso Baiano at Evenings Of Cultural Arts Series at Sunnyvale Theatre

About

Grupo Falso Baiano is a choro group that offers a window into the history and diverse culture of Brazil. Choro is Brazil’s first national music, born in the cafés of Rio in the late 1800’s, and reflects the melding of Latin American and African rhythms with a melodic and harmonic structure most closely resembling Baroque classical music.
The San Francisco Bay Guardian writes of Grupo Falso Baiano, “The young musicians … will make you dance, cry, laugh and marvel at their instrumental skill and love for a music that is centuries old but sounds as fresh as ever.”
