Chôro do Rio

Rio's blue toned samba - "chôrinho" or "weeping samba", standardized in the 20th century by the great composer Pixinguinha (last frame of the vid). Here the weeping is for Pixinguinha himself and for old times gone forever, by the unforgettable Vinicius de Moraes (with Toquinho's guitar), to pictures of Rio de Janeiro, old and modern.

No, Lapochka, it's Vinicius de Moraes (with Toquinho's guitar).

Thanks for rating.

Luvya,

Chuck

Infelizmente trocaram o choro e o bom samba por "funk"(?), agora o que era popular fica erudito demais pra galera curtir e o que é popular permite o culto a ignorância.

Eu vou chamar o síndico!!!

Ah, makes me sweet-sadly nostalgic (saudades) for a time that I never knew, and may never have existed. True sad beauty and rich dignity of choro, of Brasil, of the time in my youth when we lived in Recife (Northeast) and I heard the music like this that forever imprinted me with deep fondness.

Chorando pra Pixinguinha. Essa musica Vinicius frez para o Velho Pixinga. De acordo com Vinicius,a bebida respeitava Pixinguinha rsrsrssr
