Um Sete Um

Um Sete Um are a trio performing choro; a style of instrumental music similar to jazz but with a blend of African rhythm and classical forms to give it a uniquely Brazilian twist. The music dates from the late 1800s up to the present day, covering the giants of the genre such as Ernesto Nazareth, Pixinguinha, Jacob do Bandolim, and many more. Andy Carter (7 string guitar), Katie Stevens (clarinet) and Alex Magni (percussion) are part of a growing worldwide fascination with choro, attempting to preserve the spirit of the music as it was originally performed over 100 years ago. Expect memorable melodies, virtuosity and toe-tapping rhythm.
