Santa Teresa (choro)

Choro is mainly an instrumental genre of Brazilian music rooted on "samba". This musical style is usually performed
by an ensemble known as "regional" (flute, sax, clarinet, cavaquinho/bandolim, 6- or 7-string nylon guitar, pandeiro,
surdo and others). Choro is a very virtuosic, rhythmic style. Structurally, traditional "choro" resembles the minuet, with
its parts A, B and a Trio.

Seashore (Beira-mar) (bossa-nova)

Bossa-nova is one of the latest Brazilian musical genres, incorporating jazz elements to the traditional "samba".
Immortalized by the works of Tom Jobim and Joćo Gilberto, bossa-nova spread throughout the world up to the point of
influencing even Jazz music. As in Jazz, bossa-nova's melodic-harmonic complexities are extremely variable.
