CHORINNHO FOR CARNIVAL

Canning House is proud to host Adriano Adewale Trio performing Chorinho to celebrate the Brazilian carnival, bringing the roots of the Samba but with a contemporary taste.

THE ADRIANO ADEWALE TRIO

The percussionist Adriano Adewale will be performing with two very special guests, his fellow musician composer and multi instrumentalist Marcelo Andrade and composer and guitarist Jonathan Preiss. The concert will be featuring the works of Afro-Brazilian composer Pixinguinha, 1897-1973. Pixinguinha lived in Rio de Janeiro and wrote mainly in a style called Chorinho, he was one of the first composers to incorporate Jazz and Improvisation into Brazilian music. Chorinho has many similarities with Baroque music, however with a Brazilian rhythm and flavour added to it. Passionate, virtuoso, challenging, charming and fun, this is a concert which will show and make you feel the essence of Brazilian music.
