CHORO FESTIVAL ( CHOROFEST)

 

ChoroFest was first presented in NYC in August 2015, and it was a great success, and due to this positive reception, BMF continues presenting the ChoroFest annually. The festival was created to preserve and share the Choro (Crying), a rich instrumental music style, considered one of the oldest genres from Brazil. This music has been presented since the nineteenth century in all regions of Brazil.

The Festival collaborators aim to involve different cultures in an exchange of artistic talents between the U.S., Brazil, and other countries.

About Choro

Choro music is roots jazz from Brazil, and considered Brazil’s first “urban pop” music. There are over 30 different types of rhythms in Brazilian Music.
