Huw Warren presents Choro Choro Choro.
Penarth Pier Pavilion welcomes the Huw Warren Quartet showcasing the vibrant Choro music, the beating heart at the core of Brazilian music.
From its emergence in the late nineteenth century in Rio de Janeiro, it has continued to be a musical and cultural influence right up to the present day. The combination of African music elements - more specifically from Bantu and Yoruba peoples - fused with European dances and forms such as Polkas, Marches and Waltzes; created an uniquely Brazilian urban popular music.
For this collection Huw has adapted and arranged music from some of the original innovators such as Chiquinha Gonzaga (1847-1935) as well as the undisputed "heavyweight" of choro composers Pixinguinha (1897-1973) and the highly influential Jacob Do Bandolim (1918-1969) and Jonas Pereira da Silva (1934-1997).
“A European stylist of the highest order” BBC Music Magazine
"Warren’s love affair with Brazilian music, most notably in his association with Hermeto Pascoal, hardly needs re-affirming here. But Choro, Choro, Choro is perhaps his most personal and celebratory release yet in the domain he so cherishes.” Jazzwise Review of Choro Choro Choro April 2024
Although choros are generally instrumental pieces for a band, Warren has chosen solo piano interpretations from composers at the root of the music up to contemporary composers like Warren’s beloved Pascoal. And Warren contributes two of his own compositions, a joyful dedication to Pascoal (‘Chorinho for Hermeto’) and the urgently dark ‘Desequilibrado’, which tips and yaws like a storm-tossed barque, but never quite loses balance.
Accompanying Huw will be Tori Freestone (flute), Yuri Goloubev (bass) and Andrew Bain (drums).

Pafiliwn Pier Penarth yn croesawu pedwarawd Huw Warren sy'n arddangos y Choro bywiog sef curiad calon cerddorol Brasil.
O'i ymddangosiad ar ddiwedd y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg yn Rio de Janeiro, mae wedi parhau i fod yn ddylanwad cerddorol a diwylliannol hyd heddiw. Daeth y cyfuniad o elfennau cerddoriaeth Affricanaidd - yn fwy penodol o’r werin bobl Bantu a Yoruba - ochr yn ochr â dawnsfeydd a ffurfiau Ewropeaidd fel Polkas, Brasgamau, a Waltzes - yn fath boblogaidd o gerddoriaeth drefol unigryw i Brasil. Yn y casgliad hwn mae Huw wedi addasu a threfnu cerddoriaeth gan rai o'r arloeswyr gwreiddiol fel Chiquinha Gonzaga (1847-1935), cewri’r genre choro fel y cyfansoddwyr Pixinguinha (1897-1973) a'r dylanwadol Jacob Do Bandolim (1918-1969) a Jonas Pereira da Silva (1934-1997).
"Steilydd Ewropeaidd o'r radd flaenaf" Cylchgrawn Cerddoriaeth y BBC
"Nid oes angen ail-gadarnhau cariad Warren at gerddoriaeth Brasil, yn fwyaf arbennig yn ei gysylltiad â Hermeto Pascoal. Ond efallai mai Choro, Choro, Choro yw ei ryddhad mwyaf personol eto yn y maes y mae'n ei werthfawrogi cymaint." Adolygiad Jazzwise o Choro Choro Choro Ebrill 2024
Er bod cerddoriaeth choro yn tueddu i fod yn ddarnau offerynnol ar gyfer band yn gyffredinol, mae Warren wedi dewis dehongliadau piano unigol gan gyfansoddwyr sydd wrth wraidd y gerddoriaeth hyd at gyfansoddwyr cyfoes fel Pascoal. Ac mae Warren yn cyfrannu dau o'i gyfansoddiadau ei hun, teyrnged llawen i Pascoal ('Chorinho for Hermeto') a'r 'Desequilibrado' tywyll brys, sy'n troi a throsi fel cwch yn y storm heb fyth golli’n llwyr ei gydbwysedd.
Yn cyfeilio i Huw fydd Tori Freestone (ffliwt), Yuri Goloubev (bas) ac Andrew Bain (drymiau).
