"Choro" in Brazilian popular music has several meanings. This is mainly instrumental music, but can also be sung.
choro as a particular style of playing, so not as a musical genre that was already widespread in 1870 very much. With "choro" ensembles are known which have developed around 1870 in RIO DE JANEIRO. One of the earliest and most famous "choro" by the flutist Joaquim Antônio da Callado Silva (1848-1880) founded.
The choro developed out of the interpretation of popular polkas, which were very popular in Brazil since 1844. The "cavaquinho" player (small, four-stringed guitar) learned this mostly polkas from the hearing. Then they led before the learned piece on guitar and supported him in the modulatory passages. From these passages developed these exercises instrumentalists, which then evolved over time to finger plays. These exercises were then fixed and the modulatory schemes, which are the typical Chorinho. From the drone, the modulation was usually in the lower keys, so that arose melancholic melodies. Hence, the term "choro" have arisen from the "cry" of the melodies. Joaquim Antonio Calado
Jr. (1848-1880) is the first major outstanding flutist who is the most important founders of the choro. He developed a small ensemble formation with a soloist, two guitars and a Cavaquinho.
His group was called "de Choro Calado (Choro Calado of) known. After his death, took over the new generation, including the pianist and composer Chiquinha Gonzaga (1847-1935) and his legacy continued to develop it.
took from 1880 to the Choro important. The Choro Ensemble has been mostly for dance events in the poorer districts during the whole night dedicated. For this reason had Chorinho up in the 1930s, a bad reputation.
generally called Choro an urban instrumental ensemble in which a member of the group is soloist. In half of the 19th Century was a typical cast of Cavaquinho, flute, clarinet, trombone, guitar and percussion (pandeiro and Tamborim and "prato e faca", a metal plate, which is rubbed rhythmically with a knife). In the 20th
Century, people associated the term choro with other urban dances of Brazil as Maxixe, tango and samba brasileiro. An important common feature of these dances, the syncopated binary Rhyhtmus. Furthermore, these dances are different, especially in the instrumental line-up.
In the 1930s and 1940s was the "Velha Guarda" show, whose leader, flutist, saxophonist and composer Alfredo da Rocha Viana introduced, especially today as "Pixinguinha known, new approaches to improvisation and the variation in Choro .
