Brasileirinho
In Rio in the late 1800s, Brazilian musicians started to blend European melodies, Afro-Brazilian rhythms and a melancholic interpretation of the native Indian's music - and Choro was born. Uniquely Brazilian, it was the first musical expression of Brazil's identity as a cultural melting pot, and led directly to Samba and later, Bossa Nova. Still a popular music form today, this documentary traces the roots, practititioners and livelieness of the modern tropical sound.
