World Music: Flavia Nascimento & Tio Chorinho
Presented by Shenkman Arts Centre and Axé Worldfest
Flávia Nascimento, a renowned singer and musician, joins the upbeat Tio Chorinho trio for a Brazilian show that will have you dancing in your seat.
Tio Chorinho is the first ensemble in Canada dedicated to performing Brazilian choro music. Founded over a decade ago, the group performs frequently throughout Toronto and southern Ontario and has also toured parts of the United States. The group’s debut album "Chora Brazil," earned two Canadian Folk Music Awards nominations (World Music Album of the Year and Instrumental Group of the Year) and was described by Wholenote Magazine as “an absolute delight from start to finish…a terrific debut CD; play it on a grey day and your room will be filled with sunshine!”
