Choro Ensemble Musicians
“Época de Ouro”
Toni 7 Cordas - 7-string guitar
André Bellieny - 6-string guitar
Jorginho do Pandeiro - pandeiro
Jorge Filho - cavaquinho
We selected ten ragtimes (five composed by Scott Joplin, its main representative), which were performed by a Choro Ensemble following the same traditional Choro swing, rhythm and harmony. For the solo we used the typical instruments used in Choro: flute, mandolin, clarinet, and sax.
Using the CD, listen to the complete stereo tracks (with soloists) for your reference. Tune your instrument (flute, sax, clarinet or mandolin) using the tuning notes. Now have fun being the soloist, using the accompaniment tracks featuring a leading Choro Ensemble from Brazil.
Now you can play along with your own "Choro Ensemble," which will always be there for you, whether at home, on the road or at the beach.
Have fun and good training!
