Pre-Album Release:
“Raizes do Choro e Samba” (Roots of Choro and Samba) is a new album “soft release” released by Duo Violão plus one and produced by Ami Molinelli with several special guests from Brazil and the Bay Area! (Dill Costa, Edinho Gerber and the Dragons of Samba student drum group)
This concert will celebrate the pre-release of the album and feature Grupo Falso Baiano, Edinho Gerber and acclaimed, award winning vocalist, sambista and actress Dill Costa both from Chicago. Dill has shared the stage with Ivan Lins, Paulinho da Viola, Chico Buarque and now resides in Chicago where every year she is celebrated as a “Rainha” (Queen) in Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She will lend her talents to this amazing project and is featured on two tracks on this album.
This concert celebrates the up-and-coming album showcasing the intersection between Brazil’s first original music, Choro, and its most popular, Samba. This is a direct evolution of the album “História do Choro”, a survey of 150 years of the genre, which was released in March of 2019. Raizes do Choro e Samba (Roots of Choro and Samba) will officially release in the Spring.
The Concept: This album is a love letter to the great chorões and sambistas that in tandem defined Brazil’s sound and music from Rio de Janeiro.
