The First Family of choro, Alvorada on
this A World in London!
 |
| Luiz Morais |
One of the most exciting new bands in
London have just launched their debut album but because the gig was
packed out they’ve added an extra date at Pizza Express Holborn on
May 2nd 2019! Alvorada’s ‘First Light’ showcases their fresh take on
choro, the lively, instrumental music style born in nineteenth
century Rio, which they fuse with Jazz, samba, and baiao. It’s a
genre which came out of intimate bars/rodas, where musicians are
grouped closely together right in the thick of the crowd. Alvorada
played exactly in this way on our show, huddled together like a
tight-knit family of virtuosos, skilfully improvising through
challenging rhythms and intricacies. The band formed in 2016 and
boasts a sterling line-up derived from Brazil’s music royalty -
Luiz Morais on seven-string guitar, and Alua Nascimento on pandeiro,
plus Brazilian music aficionados – flautist Rachel Hayter, Andrew
Woolf on clarinet, and Jeremy Shaverin on cavaquinho. Catch the First
Family of choro, on this AWIL and reserve a copy of First Light
before it comes out on May 1st!
