DVD Reviews of The Sound of Rio: Brasileirinho

DVD Review: music DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a DVD with excellent brazilian jazz musicians, for those who love guitar and jazz, its marvellous. As far as story and interviews, i choose to skip those and just enjoy the concerts.

DVD Review: Great introduction to "choro"
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD is a great introduction to the "choro" style of music. This is the ancestor of bossa, and also blends nicely with samba. Choro is the urban musical style of Rio. Features excellent artists such as Yamandu Costa, Trio Madeira Brazil, Paulo Moura, Guinga, Ze da Velha & Silverio Pontes, Joel Nascimento, Jorginho do Pandeiro, Marcos Suzano, and singers such as Teresa Cristina & Pedro Miranda, Elza Soares, Adamilde Fonseca, Zeze Gonzaga, and others. Playing music of excellent composers such as Ernesto Nazareth, Pixinguinha, Dilermando Rios, etc. Watch the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSuDm61CedA

DVD Review: Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD showcases a style of music from Rio de Janeiro known as "Choro." It's a very vibrant, beautiful, joyous style and the participants are all famous virtuoso performers. There's also a nice blend of the "old guard" and the new. The cinematography is first-rate as are the interviews and story line. This movie is a must-see for anyone wanting to learn more about this style of music, and it will make you want to board a plane for Rio as quickly as you can get your bags packed.

DVD Review: Fabulous
Summary: 5 Stars

Great DVD. If you love Brazil, play guitar or just want to see great music and great musicians buy it. I noticed Ze Paulo Becker and Yamandu Costa because I am interested in guitar. worth seeing both. Just a really enjoyable film.

DVD Review: The Sound Of Rio
Summary: 5 Stars

An absolute must for any classical guitarist, mandolin player, ethnomusicologist or anyone in need of a musical revival. Yamandu is at an almost spiritual level of one-ness with his seven string guitar. I wonder though why Jacob Do Bandolim is not mentioned, where his compositions feature strongly.

Description of The Sound of Rio: Brasileirinho

The Sound of Rio: Brasileirinho is a 90-minute documentary film about choro, the first fenuinely Brazilian urban music. The film remembers its history but shows, above all, a colorful picture of Choro's vitality today.
