		A little bit about choro:
		''The real Brazilian Soul'' Heitor Villa-Lobos Choro (''cry'' or ''lament'' in English) is a Brazilian Popular music. Its origins are in 19th century. In spite of the name, the style often has a fast and happy rhythm, characterized by virtuosity and improvisation. This instrumental music is considered the first urban music of Brazil. Like the Jazz in USA, Choro had influenced all the Brazilians genres, including Samba, Forró and Bossa Nova. Choro resulted from the style of playing European musical genres by Brazilian musicians, who was already strongly influenced by African rhythms. Because of this European influence choro is composed in a ''Rondo'' form, which is commonly used in Classical and Romantic music as a part of a sonata, symphony, concerto or chamber music. Normally played by 7-strings guitar, flute, mandolim, cavaquinho and pandeiro (tambourine), the choro has some characteristics of Baroque music, with its extremely creative and melodious counterpoints. Nowadays Choro collects clubs and fans all over the world thanks to its sophistication and particular rhythm.
