O Abismo Da Prata Is A Wonderful Spin

Album: O Abismo Da Prata
Artist: Gian Correa
Genre: Choro

Brazil has a unique and native music scene. From Samba to MPB and now I discover this: Choro music. Something new every day for us in this new music world.

Choro (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈʃoɾu], “cry” or “lament”), also popularly called chorinho (“little cry” or “little lament”), is an instrumental Brazilian popular music genre which originated in 19th century Rio de Janeiro. Despite its name, the music often has a fast and happy rhythm. It is characterized by virtuosity, improvisation and subtle modulations, and is full of syncopation and counterpoint. Choro is considered the first characteristically Brazilian genre of urban popular music. The serenaders who play choros are known as chorões.^[1]

O Abismo Da Prata is the latest from Gian Correa, a Sao Paulo guitarist and composer. For this latest release he’s teamed up with painter and muralist Apolo Torres.

Gian plays the 7 string guitar and Enrique Menezes on flute is amazing. If you want an easy way to describe this, think Brazilian Jazz with some spice.

It’s a wonderful spin.

Música popular brasileira (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈmuzikɐ popuˈlaʁ bɾaziˈlejɾɐ], Popular Brazilian Music) or MPB is a trend in post-bossa nova urban popular music in Brazil that revisits typical Brazilian styles such as samba, samba-canção and baião and other Brazilian regional music, combining them with foreign influences, such as jazz and rock. <wikipedia>
