Choro Das Minas
Choro das Minas is Sydney’s all-female Brazilian choro band, dedicated to celebrating culture and empowerment through music. They explore classic choro compositions by legendary composers such as Chiquinha Gonzaga, Ernesto Nazareth, and Pixinguinha. Choro das Minas aims to provide a platform for women in music, fostering a supportive and inspiring environment while bringing the rich heritage of Brazilian choro to a wider audience.
