[Dixielandjazz] Choro-ish group from Brazil?

[David Richoux]

I made contact with the person who posted the videos - Milena Campos  
from Barra Bonita, Brazil. The term used for this kind of music is  
"forró". The musicians are amateur! (Some of them now live in the USA  
in various locations.)

Anyway, interesting offshoots of jazz!
