Tio Chorinho with Flavia Nascimento

Tio Chorinho is the first ensemble in Canada dedicated to performing choro music, the “New Orleans jazz of Brazil.” Exciting, intimate, nostalgic and virtuosic, choro is an infectious urban-folk style whose universal appeal belies its musical complexity. Tio Chorinho embraces the authentic spirit of choro and extends it, thrilling audiences of all backgrounds with astonishing musicianship and easy-going charm on stage.

Born in Brazil, Flávia Nascimento (she/her) started her artistic career there as a graduate actress from the University Theatre in Belo Horizonte, and singing with her singer-guitarist father since a young age. Together, they have given her many opportunities in theatre and musical theatre. She co-founded the education theatre Cara-Cara, which raises awareness in communities concerning the environment.

In 1998, Flávia met her future husband and father of her children, a Canadian volunteer from Québec working for the Cirque du Monde project. She herself gives circus workshops for the youth overseen by the project, giving her the roots to grow as a clown and a stilt walker. After a lot of circus adventures in Brazil, the couple decided to travel to Canada in 2001 and establish themselves in Québec City, Flavia’s first adoptive city. Very quickly, this luminous and versatile artist made herself known in the cultural landscape of Quebec.

Tio Chorinho performs frequently with the amazing Brazilian-born vocalist and will soon be making a full-length collaborative recording.
