About this album
“The Choro of Luiz Gonzaga” is an unprecedented project in that one of its central guiding principles was to divulge a lesser known facet of Luiz Gonzaga’s life, distancing him from his reputation as “The King of Baião.” Aside from his popular work and interpretation of Northeastern Brazilian musical genres, he was also an exemplary accordion soloist and composed instrumental pieces that are extremely valuable, despite being small in number.
This book is not only a one-of-a-kind reference for the study of Luiz Gonzaga’s choros and accordion technique, it also enables us to spread awareness about his works to students of wind instruments, with transpositions in B Flat and E Flat.
Good practice and have fun!
