A Note from the Ambassador of Brazil to Washington
“Through his unique mastery of the bandolin (the Brazilian mandolin), Hamilton de Holanda gives us music that represents Brazil’s intangible cultural heritage in its truest and most delightful expression.
The acclaimed saxophonist Chris Potter, a towering figure in the jazz scene, brings us inventive and vibrant musical narratives through his exceptional skills.
As we celebrate 200 years of diplomatic relations between Brazil and the United States, it is a privilege to promote this encounter between the traditional genre of Choro from Brazil and American Jazz.”
Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti
Ambassador of Brazil to Washington
Program Notes
Choro music and jazz have merged to create a fascinating blend of Brazilian and American musical traditions, leading to innovative collaborations, cross-cultural exchanges, and novel styles. Both genres have been enriched by this fusion, a testament to the versatility and adaptability of musicians from different backgrounds.
