About
DC Choro brings the best in the traditional Brazilian music styles of choro and forró to a fan base that is predominantly Brazilian, but ever expanding. Choro is a genre that emerged in Rio de Janeiro in the late 19th/early 20th century. Like ragtime, it features intricate melodies and counterpoint, a swinging rhythm, and rich harmony. Forró emerged later, in the Brazilian northeast, and is characterized by an accordion and bass drum dance rhythm. DC Choro brings keen musicianship, great energy and a sense of fun to both genres.
