I would like to request that PG take some interest in creating this style and its sub genres as well as perhaps adding real tracks played by world class musicians that specialize in this incredibly fascinating music

Greetings. I'm not familiar with the Brazilian music genre called Choro. I also have no idea what musicians would be a good choice to create some RealTracks. Can you provide some links that demonstrate Choro music and suggest some musicians?

Jim, I like this video because she explains that Choro predates samba, which predates Bossa Nova. Not all of these players are Brazilian but to my ears it sounds authentic. See if this helps. While Anat Cohen is an outstanding jazz player, I think this music can often sound like it's a type of Brazilian classical music. It's fast and intricate, with whirlwind melodies by instruments like guitar and accordion and sometimes a horn.


Some artists names would be Sivuca and Hermeto. Many jazz players who perform samba might throw in a choro; it makes quite an instrumental showpiece technically.

Thanx for that Matt. I have never heard of Choro before this thread. It is very intricate music.


I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

Intricate is a very good description! It has all the speed you could want, on top of the complex harmony used in Brazilian music.

It’s very hard to play this on a trumpet: you run out of air quickly!

Thanks for the response Matt. Interesting stuff and I'm sure the video will give PG Music a better idea of what tumbaobass is requesting.

I hope tumbaobass responds and provides additional information about his suggestion while confirming the video is a good example of what he is requesting.

I believe the more information PG Music has to work with the better chance there is of getting what is requested.

HI, greetings from Brasil. Choro music should indeed deserve some attention from PG Music. This an example, "Receita de samba", composed by Jacob do Bandolim, one of the great players in choro.

This is very nice. You can also find many examples at even faster tempos, usually without the wind instruments (although clarinet and flute are possible). The guitar, mandolin, and accordion are great for this style at breakneck tempos. 😎

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
