Product Description
Contents Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Rice Records, this album is back in the catalog! A historic collaboration between two masters representing the history of Choro. No one would object to calling this album a "sacred text." It's a historic collaboration between Pixinguinha, the "father of Brazilian music," and Benedito Lacerda, the greatest flutist in Choro history. In the late 1940s, both masters, already in their prime, delivered a performance that condensed the entirety of Choro's history and tradition. This album contains almost all of the recordings made at that time. From samba to bossa nova, the tradition of Choro, which always flows beneath the surface of Brazilian music, is condensed here.
