Choro Noho 2023
New England’s Celebration of Brazilian Choro
Saturday, July 1 at 7:30 PM
Tickets are $30; please go to Choro NoHo 2023
If you are new to the Brazilian musical tradition of “choro,” you are in for a treat. The genre began to take shape in mid-19th century Rio de Janeiro, where the music of the Portuguese court met that of Afro-Brazilians. Here in the US, a similar process gave us first ragtime, then jazz, and just as these genres are seen as prototypically “North American,” so too is choro recognized as uniquely, exquisitely Brazilian. Every year, Choro Camp New England brings chorões (that is, people who play choro) to the campus of Smith College for a week of study and jamming with masters of the genre. This concert, “Choro Noho,” will feature those artists and serve as the grand finale of our week together.
