SYDNEY CHORO CLUB
The first genuine Brazilian
music genre
in Sydney, Australia..
Sydney Choro Club brings authentic Brazilian music and culture to Sydney, Australia. Choro, also called chorinho, is the first original Brazilian music genre dating back to the late 1800s and combines classical European instrumentation with African rhythms. All modern Brazilian music, such as samba, bossa nova, and popular Brazilian music evolved from choro decades later. Please come and join us!
About Sydney Choro Club
Bringing choro to Australia
Sydney Choro Club was founded on a sunny afternoon in the spring of 2017 by Brazilian multi-instrumentalist and cultural developer Douglas Aguiar.
Five years later, Sydney Choro Club has over 30 active member musicians and has had over 400 activities among “rodas” (jam sessions) and study groups, as well as live performances, festivals, cultural events, and private practice sessions with the main group. Sydney Choro Club has also run choro workshops in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Canberra, and the Blue Mountains. The club is open to new members who would like to learn the genre or visiting musicians who would like to drop into the rodas while visiting Sydney.
