    The Finnish director Mika Kaurismaki fell in love with Brazil nearly two decades ago, and he settled there in 1991. His love of his adopted country, its music and musicians is on display in an enchanting and interesting documentary Brasileirinho which explores the phenomenon of CHORO, a musical form which originated at the end of the 19th century. It"s a blend of European melodies and rhythms and native and African music. The talented musicians who are interviewed are articulate and passionate about CHORO. What shines through in this film is the filmmakers love of his subject matter nd the musicians love of playing. When Kaurismaki films the giant talent of virtuoso guitarist Yamandu Costa, it is truly a beautiful moment. Many other talented musicians feature in the film including clarinettist Paulo Moura and guitarist Marcello Goncalves. This film, which comes three years after Kaurismaki"s film about samba, Moro No Brasil has been really nicely shot, the affection shines through, embracing the people and the music of Rio de Janeiro, Kaurismaki"s adopted home. And just as a bonus, the music is fabulous.   Close
