Choro, traditionally called chorinho ("little cry" or "little lament"), is a Brazilian popular music instrumental style. Its origins are in 19th century Rio de Janeiro. In spite of the name, the style often has a fast and happy rhythm, characterized by virtuosity, improvisation, subtile modulations and full of syncopation and counterpoint. Choro is considered the first urban popular music typical of Brazil.

Tupi Collective - Some Brazilian Instrumental Grooves

It's Carnaval Time! 
And to celebrate the happiest Brazilian holiday, nothing more adequate than a 100% vinyl mixtape with just the old, and the not that old, samba generation. In this 1h mix, I selected the sweet and smoothiest tunes from classic albums and artists as Clementina de Jesus, Cartola, Joao Nogueira, and Noel Rosa between others.
A mixtape to listen wile working, or cooking, or chilling, or dancing, or waking up...
Sambemo-nos!!
