Here's a little Choro music to put you in the mood for Brazilian Independence Day (Sept 7th). Brejeiro is a very fun piece written by Brazilian pianist and composer Ernesto Nazareth--made popular on the mandolin by Jacob do Bandolim. This was my first time digging deeper into Choro music, and I had a lot of fun trying to incorporate the melody, harmony, and infectious rhythms all in one part.



You can now get a tab/notation transcription for this video, and all of my other personal solo Mandolin Mondays arrangements on my Patreon site here: https://www.patreon.com/davidbenedictmandolin

Happy Picking!

David

    Obrigado David! Is there any kind of music you don't do well on the mandolin? I don't think so!

    I love choro music, and I can't wait till my ability catches up with my desire to play it.
