Ricardo Steyer Choro is a Latin band based in Sydney, NSW.
Choro is Brazil's instrumental music, quick and melodic, and it's all this Sydney ensemble plays. Most bookings are a trio or quartet drawn from mandolin, flute, 7-string guitar, clarinet, saxophone and pandeiro, a skinned tambourine. The repertoire leans on the great choro composers, among them Chiquinha Gonzaga, Pixinguinha and Jacob do Bandolim, so expect pieces like Carinhoso, Odeon, Tico-tico no Fubá and Brasileirinho. With no vocals it sits comfortably under dinner or drinks while still rewarding anyone who stops to listen. The players have worked together for more than ten years. For small and medium events they bring their own gear. Festivals and larger venues need three mixer channels, one with phantom power, a DI for the mandolin, two or three foldback wedges and three chairs. They travel nationwide.
