PROGRAM
Brazilian Choro, Villa-Lobos, and Jazz
A kind of Brazilian equivalent to jazz, “choro” was a popular style of music that flourished at the turn of the 20th century. As a teenager, Villa-Lobos snuck out of his home to listen and play along with the musicians, and those experiences forever marked his later compositions. Today, jazz musicians like Southern
California legend Peter Sprague continue to explore the influence of Brazilian choro, channeled through Villa-Lobos, Tom Jobim, and countless other musical giants. Revueltas also found inspiration in the folk and popular musics of his native Mexico, heard here in “Música de Feria.”
