Sounds of Brazil with Choro Da Alegria and Nancy Curtin Trio

Choro Da Alegria is a Portland-based ensemble dedicated to playing wonderful melodies of various Brazilian composers. Our group draws much inspiration from the genre "Choro" which has been loosely called "Brazilian ragtime". Beyond choro we include in our repertoire classic tunes of Bossa Nova and MPB. Choro Da Alegria means "Choro of happiness".

Pam Beaty (guitar, cavaquinho) is a classically-trained guitarist, who has been a long-time devotee of various styles of Brazilian music. Pam teaches guitar in the Portland area and has performed in several ensembles.

Peter Fung (guitar, cavaquinho, percussion) has been happily obsessed with samba and choro for the last two decades. Peter is founder of Portland's (OR) first weekly Roda de Choro, and annual Dia do Choro PDX.

Tom Pinit (bandolim/Brazilian mandolin) began playing stringed instruments before entering kindergarten. Starting with violin, progressing to electric bass, and most recently mandolin, Tom was bitten by the Brazilian music bug soon after taking up the bandolim.

Nancy has been singing Brazilian music for over 14 years and has developed a following of music lovers who appreciate hearing the more obscure (and beautiful) songs from the Brazilian songbook.

Ben Graves is an accomplished guitarist who excels in both jazz and classical styles. Recently he has focused on the music of Brazil, and can be heard playing regularly in jazz clubs around the Northwest.

Pyata Penedo is a Brazilian percussionist and vocalist who plays in several ensembles, adding his infectious rhythms as well as beautiful singing.
