Very sad news. Last week, while Choro das 3 was traveling from Barcelona to their next gig in France, someone broke the glass in their van and stole many, if not most, of their instruments and mics, plus cameras and computers they use to create the beautiful videos and live stream sessions they share with us. A despicable crime and an assault on every one of us who love choro.
While the thieves failed to get away with Elisa's bandolim and Lia's guitar, as you can see below they stole many, if not most, of their instruments and mics - plus cameras and computers they use to create the beautiful videos and live stream sessions they share with us.
A GoFundMe campaign to help them recover has been created here:
