Ticket details

Free (tips greatly appreciated)

Chorando na Chuva (Crying in the Rain) has performed around the Pacific Northwest since 2010, beginning under the name Choro Tocando. They host the monthly roda de choro, now in its 12th year, and also frequently perform or offer workshops and rodas at BrasilFest and Northwest Folklife festivals. Although Brazilian choro music is the heart of Chorando na Chuva’s polished performance, the group also mixes it up with baião, samba, and maxixe to kick up a toe-tapping beat. Add more than a bit of song, and it’s a great time. Band regulars KTzinha (vocals and flute), Paul Korsmo (vocals and 7-string guitar, and Wayne Organ (percussion) are joined by guest Wayne Clark (violin, bandolim and percussion).

This concert is free and family friendly. All tips go to the musicians and are greatly appreciated.

About Chorando na Chuva

For nearly two decades, Chorando na Chuva ("Crying in the Rain") has celebrated Brazilian culture though its music, especially choro's blend of African grooves and European dance tunes that grew into samba and bossa nova and still itself evolves. In performance, they pour decades of musical exploration and travel to Brazil into tight arrangements that bring out the beauty of this upbeat joyful style, especially its unsung vocal heritage. Notably they have played at BrasilFest since 2012, a monthly gig at C&P Coffee for 5 years; taught workshops at the University of Washington, Centrum Choro Workshop, and Northwest Folklife; and served as long-time hosts of the monthy roda de choro jam sessions at the Couth Buzzard Bookstore. The group features KTzinha (flute and voice), Paul Korsmo (7-string guitar and voice), Arthur Knapp (cavaquinho and guitar), and Wayne Organ (percussion and voice).
