Choro de La pra Ca: Music of Brazil

Saturday, September 9, 2017
3:00 pm - 4:15 pm
Petty Auditorium

Guest singer Dill Costa joins Choro de La pra Ca in their third U.S. tour. Experience the music of Brazil for an afternoon.

The trio of Skokie flutist Julie Koidin and Brazilian musicians Diogo Guanabar (mandolin, cavaquinho, and guitar) and Caio Padilha (guitar, rabeca, and vocals) started when Julie visited Natal, Brazil in 2014 to research contemporary choro. The musical chemistry was immediate! Each musician comes from a completely different musical background-–Julie with her classical training, Diogo growing up with choro and having a strong interest in jazz, and Caio who has an affinity for folkloric music and a background in theater. The musicians truly enjoy their unique perspectives to their arrangements and their own compositions.
