Samba-choro is a subgenre of samba that emerged in Rio de Janeiro in early 1930s in Brazil. [1] [2] It was a syncopated hybrid fusion of samba with the Brazilian instrumental genre choro, but with medium tempo and presence of lyrics. [1]
Created by the Brazilian music industry, samba-choro was released with “Amor em Excess”, by Gadé and Valfrido Silva, in 1932. [2] [3] One of the most popular songs of this subgenre is “ Carinhoso”, by Pixinguinha. Originally released as choro in 1917, this composition received lyrics and ended up relaunched two decades later, in the voice of Orlando Silva, with great commercial success. [4] In the following decade, the cavaquinista Waldir Azevedo would popularize chorinho, a kind of fast-paced instrumental samba. [4]
