Choro Louco plans to perform at 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 9, at Denmark Arts Center, 50 W Main St. in Denmark.
Brazilian Choro has been around for over a hundred years, but in this country it’s virtually unknown.
David Grisman, Mike Marshall and a handful of others have helped introduce the music and the musicians to a larger audience, but itʼs still largely under the radar of most music listeners.
Its beautiful melodies, complex harmonies, and syncopated rhythms combine elements of European folk and classical, ragtime, jazz, Latin, and African music creating a style that is uniquely Brazilian.
Members are Nicole Rabata, flute; Carl Dimow, guitar, flute; David Newsam, 7 and 8 string guitar, mandolin; Eric LaPerna, pandeiro.
Tickets cost $15 for general audience and are available online at denmarkarts.org/events.
