Choro is a type of Brazilian popular music similar in background to thecelebrated Cuban son of Buena Vista Social Club fame. Choro started in Rio deJaneiro as a fusion of African-based rhythms and structures with Europeaninstruments and dance forms. In the 20th century, it came to represent social andracial diversity in Brazil and was integrated into mainstream film, radio, andrecordings throughout Latin America and Europe. It formed a basis for Brazilian jazzand influenced the music of Heitor Villa Lobos. Today choro is viewed as a type ofpopular folk/traditional music in its own right. Its history parallels that of race, class, and nationality in Brazil over the last 100 years.
