Rogério Souza Silva

Rogério Souza was a pioneer in developing the style of music that is known today as “choro novo” – innovative interpretations of traditional Brazilian instrumental music while remaining true to the roots of the music. Ronaldo Souza Silva, known as Ronaldo do Bandolim and Rogério’s brother, has been in the music scene for over thirty years and is considered one of the greatest bandolinists of Brazil. As a teenager in the late 60s, he was part of the group "Os Jovens da Velha Guarda". For the last two decades has been adding his beautiful improvisations to the sound of the group “Época de Ouro”, the most traditional contemporary Choro group. Rogério and Ronaldo are examples of musicians that have awakened a tremendous enthusiasm among young people for Choro, which today is wildly popular in clubs, concert halls, and the hot nightspots of Rio.
