It may seem contradictory to speak of fun for a genre whose literal definition choro means, in Portuguese "lament"; the fact remains, however, that in carioca culture joy and sadness are often inextricably linked to each other; just as the romantic melancholy of Chopin's pianism (in many compositions of Nazareth, for example, the influence of the great Polish master is more than evident) is mixed, in choro, with the lively and "colorful" rhythm that will become one over time characteristic elements of Brazilian music (from choro to samba, to bossa nova).

The choro therefore represents a sort of intelligent entertainment, an endless repertoire of songs that you can, always with due respect and ... (why not?) Sometimes even without, manipulating and interpreting even with organics and instruments far from traditional ones.
