Choro, samba's older cousin and Brazil's first urban popular music genre, was born in 19th century Rio as a melding of European classical music with Afro-Brazilian rhythms and harmonies. It's known for its intricate melodies, playful rhythms, virtuosity, and improvisation, and it continues to evolve today.
