Choro das 3
Crosstown Arts, The Green Room 1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280, Memphis, TN, United StatesChoro das 3 — the "First Family of Choro" — returns to Memphis on their 7th U.S. tour for an unforgettable evening of joy, excitement, and megachops in The Green Room at Crosstown Arts. Brazilian choro music is a living gem — the "roots music" of that country and the mother of the samba and bossa nova we love. In choro, the flavors of immigrant mazurkas, polkas, and waltzes are seasoned with smoky tango and simmered in an irresistible Afro-Brazilian groove.
