Yamandu Costa & Guto Wirtti - Mazurka Choro (Heitor Villa-Lobos)

Choro is derived from the Portuguese chorar (to “weep”, “lament” or “cry”), and refers to a type of popular music, primarily instrumental, that first appeared in Rio de Janeiro in the latter part of the nineteenth century.
Brazilian pianist Ernesto Nazareth (1863-1934) is referred as originator of Brazilian choro music.
For another great Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, Nazareth's music was inspiration for a series of fourteen compositions titled Choros, which would make Villa-Lobos internationally famous.
The word choro was first used by Villa-Lobos in his Suite Popular Brasilienne, most of which was composed between 1908-1912. The five “dances” in this suite include Mazurka Choro, Schottish Choro, Valsa Choro, Gavotta Choro, and Chorinho.
Mazurka Choro is probably most popular of all chorões by Villa-Lobos, recorded and performed live by so many guitarists all over the world.
In video this is phenomenal virtuoso of Brazilian 7-strings guitar (violão) and his friend Guto Wirtti on acoustic bass guitar who perform Mazurka Choro so beautifully.
This is second video here, same artist configuration, same music, but much newer, better quality.
Enjoy!
