Chora Berlim

Rosa Morena Russa and Clube do Choro Berlim present:

Album Release: “Chora Berlim”
Afterwards: Roda de Choro

Choro is the first authentic urban Brazilian music style that has existed since the end of the XIX century. Today it can be heard on almost every continent. It is a unique mixture of European classical and salon music, underlaid with Afro-Brazilian rhythms.

Choro is also a lifestyle. Members of different communities visit each other to participate in rodas (jam sessions), which contributes to an intense cultural and personal exchange.

The album “Chora Berlim” documents such an exchange: the best representatives of Rio de Janeiro’s lively scene play together with chorões from Hamburg and Berlin. Most of the compositions were written by the German-Ukrainian singer and composer Rosa Morena Russa, alias Kateryna Ostrovska. After its release in Germany, the album met with a very positive response in Europe, Brazil, Japan and South Korea. Individual tracks can now be heard at the Rodas in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Nuremberg and Fortaleza. We are celebrating this with a release concert. Afterwards there will be a roda open to all choro musicians (registration at rosamorena.de@gmail.com)
