Cuesta Jazz Presents: "Groupo Falso Baiano with Choro de Ouro" - Grupo Falso Baiano is a choro group that offers a window into the history and diverse culture of Brazil. Choro is one of Brazil's earliest popular musics, dating back to the late 1800s, and, similar to jazz, it reflects the melding of African rhythms with a melodic and harmonic structure closely resembling Baroque Classical music. They are joined by our local Choro de Ouro - a group dedicated to preforming and promoting brazilian traditional music, primarily a style called "Choro". With a instrumentation and texture unique to itself, Choro is a harmonically rich, melodically active and rhythmically driving style.
