Choro das Tres is a Brazilian instrumental group of three sisters and their father, who first started to play as a band in 2003. Corina plays flute and piccolo, Lia plays seven-string guitar, Elisa plays mandolin, banjo, clarinet, and piano, and their father, Eduardo, plays pandeiro, the Brazilian tambourine. The music they play is called choro, which is a form of urban jazz, native to Brazil, that shares a similar feel with New Orleans jazz, ragtime, and bluegrass. Choro das Tres’ mission is to revive the choro tradition in Brazil and to spread choro around the world.
