Who's behind the notes? Discover Ernesto Nazareth: The Master of Brazilian Choro
"Apanhei-te Cavaquinho" (I've Caught You, Little Guitar) is one of Ernesto Nazareth's most famous choros. Composed in 1895, this lively piece exemplifies the Brazilian choro style that blends European influences like polka and waltz with African rhythms. Nazareth, often called the "Brazilian Scott Joplin," was a pivotal figure in developing Brazil's popular music before the samba era.
