Background notes
Archive material and source history
Valdir Dafonseca started playing guitar at eight years old in Rio de Janeiro. By his teens he was performing choro with local bands, developing the fingerpicking style that would become his signature. He recorded songs like "Chora, Chorinho" and "Lágrima-som" that show his approach to the genre.
Some listeners found his music too modern for traditional choro, but Dafonseca kept working with the form anyway. His 1991 album "Chora, Chorinho" and later recordings like "Todo Amor Que Houver Nessa Vida" document his particular take on Brazilian instrumental music.
