Chôro - the Brazilian blues - Odeon Chôro Quintett

About this place

Jürg Kindle, founder of the «Odeon Chôro Quintett», has spent 15 years working intensively on chôro music and, in his source research, came across a musical goldmine. «Odeon» wants to make these lost rarities accessible to a wide audience again. Virtuoso melodies as well as melancholic themes join forward-driving, syncopated rhythms and convey the way of life shaped by longing, nostalgia and wistfulness of the Portuguese emigrants and also the African slaves, which finds expression in the word «Saudades». A musical experience of rare value. Charly Baur: clarinet, bandoneon Jürg Kindle: bandolim, guitar Richard Kronig: guitar, cavaquinho Ralph Hufenus: double bass Markus van Grinsven: percussion
