[Dixielandjazz] Choro

[David Richoux]

Babelfish translation of a review of the film:

http://www.mikakaurismaki.com/press.php

In love with Rio de Janeiro, his ciels, his rates/rhythms and his  
inhabitants, the Finnish scenario writer Mika Kaurismäki continues  
his exploration of the Brazilian musical heart while going up with  
the source. After Moro No Brasil (2002), Brasileirinho gives to see  
and understand some current Masters of the choro. The national rate/ 
rhythm par excellence was born, at the XIX century end, of the  
meeting between afro-Brazilian measurements, the European dances and  
the Indian melancholy. It is at the origin of a music of virtuosos  
which says at the same time sadness and the joy by letting the  
interpreters fly away in their improvisations until the derrubada,  
the moment of the solitary escape for the soloist. Brasileirinho also  
lets slip by in background of very beautiful images of Rio Its  
original band (MK2 Music) is naturally a wonder. (S.L.) *** 3 stars  
(maximum) = excel

sounds like jazz to me!

is Tito Martino still on this list? He had a lot to say about  
Brazilian jazz history in the last few years - what does he have to  
say about Choro?
