Well noticed! I would say Choro is the Brazilian equivalent of Jazz (or Blues perhaps) in the US, one of the oldest genres of music, it blends European strings and African percussion, and strongly influences most modern music produced in that country. It is also very traditional in the bohemian culture of the cities in the region of Rio-São Paulo.
