About
Grupo Falso Baiano, with Carlos Oliveira, present an evening of choro, Brazil’s earliest popular music. Like jazz, it reflects the melding of African rhythms with European classical music and other influences. Grupo Falso Baiano formed over 21 years ago in 2004 and performs choro with a twist, including elements of jazz, samba, and even bluegrass. Their exploration of choro spans nearly 100 years, including everything from traditional to more contemporary versions and jazz-influenced reinterpretations. Join us for a lively program that traces the nuances of Brazilian choro music and featuring the phenomenal clarinetist Anat Cohen.
