"Choro" or "chorinho" originated in Brazil in the late 19th century, and lives on today as a musical style that influences much of Brazil's best known music. It's often compared to American ragtime music, with a mixture of improvisation and composition played to an energetic and syncopated rhythm.

Choro has been called "classical music played with bare feet, calloused hands and beer."
