Performed by Sergio Valdeos (guitar) and Fulvia Torricelli (violin), this concert-presentation traces Brazil’s musical history through an intimate sequence of rhythms and forms. It follows the legacy of slavery and the cultural mixtures born of colonisation, moving from lundu and batuque to early samba and choro, and through the emergence of national radio and the samba-exaltação of the 1930s–40s. Warm strings and rhythmic pulse create a vivid, listening journey that evokes social memory and layered cultural textures.
