A member of Choros Scenarium group plays a Mamdolin guitar at Scenarium bar in Rio de Janeiro
A member of Choros Scenarium group plays a Mamdolin guitar at Scenarium bar in Rio de Janeiro, in this picture taken on September 22, 2004. The music is pre-rock and even pre-jazz, yet the Brazilian musicians jamming on old " Choro" standards are often in their 20s and the crowds they gather are full of dancing teen coulpes. In trendy nightsclub in Rio de Janeiro, choro, the parent of samba, is living a loud revival that involves local people of all ages and tourist alike. In the last sign of that renaisssance, finnish film director Mika Kaurismaki and producers Marco Foster of Switzerland and Bruno Stropiana of Italy are making a documentary about choro, or chorinho, that they say could popularize the genre outside of Brazil.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on September 22,2004, a member of the Choros Scenarium group transports us to the vibrant atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro's Scenarium bar. Strumming a melodious tune on his Mandolin guitar, he effortlessly embodies the essence of choro music - a genre that predates rock and jazz. What makes this scene even more intriguing is the youthful energy emanating from both the musicians and their audience. Despite its historical roots, choro has found new life in trendy nightclubs across Rio de Janeiro. This cultural revival has attracted people of all ages, including dancing teen couples who are captivated by its infectious rhythms. The photograph captures an intimate moment within this larger movement, showcasing how choro transcends generations and brings people together through its timeless melodies. The significance of this image extends beyond just an artistic snapshot; it represents a pivotal moment for choro as Finnish film director Mika Kaurismaki and producers Marco Foster (Switzerland) and Bruno Stropiana (Italy) collaborate on a documentary about this enchanting genre. Their aim is to introduce choro to audiences outside Brazil, potentially popularizing it worldwide. Through the lens of photographer Bruno Domingos for Reuters Images, we witness not only a mesmerizing musical performance but also glimpse into the rich tapestry of Brazilian culture. This photo serves as a testament to the power of music in uniting communities and preserving traditions while embracing modernity.
