Alessandro Penezzi, considered one of the great Brazilian guitarists of his generation, joins his colleagues in the Berkeley Choro Ensemble for a rousing celebration of beautiful music.
Choro, the first uniquely Brazilian popular music and the root of samba and bossa nova, has its origins in the late 1800s. The genre, a captivating blend of European salon and chamber music with Afro-Brazilian rhythmic energy and a touch of jazz, is still being renewed and updated, and is spreading internationally at a very healthy pace.
