Grupo Falso Baiano is a choro group that offers a window into the history and diverse culture of Brazil. Choro is one of Brazil's earliest popular musics, dating back to the late 1800s, and, similar to jazz, it reflects the melding of African rhythms with a melodic and harmonic structure closely resembling Baroque Classical music.
G.F.B.'s exploration of choro spans nearly 100 years, including everything from the traditional to more contemporary versions and jazz influenced reinterpretations. In addition to performing and touring, Falso Baiano has worked in collaboration with the Pasadena Pops and Around the World Music Program to bring choro and Brazilian music to students throughout the Los Angeles County Unified School District.
Hey, your new CD sounds terrific! Don't know if you remember me, but I met you at California Brazil Camp week 2 (I took Chico's class, Guinga's class, and also a beginning cavaquinho class w/ Pedro). Maybe sometime we could talk about putting a show together with you guys and Novo Tempo.
Good luck with the SoCal tour, and best wishes for success with the new CD!
Bossa Nova Rules! I hope you'll consider playing Art Wlk some month.
I hope you can make it out Wednesday June 13th to Art Walk (or any second Wednesday on Caledonia St.). This month will be "ginourmous." 6 bands, dozens of artists and glorious weather. It's the perfect recipe for a great event. The festivities are from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM. All local yokels, no dead artists will be admitted.
I hope to see you out, I'll be the guy with too many cameras running aroung like a chicken with his head cut off. If you see me don't be shy, Say "Hi."
You can check out the line up at www.artwalksausalito.org
