Chor zur Welt
- World Music
Usually, the roughly 75 singers from 23 cultures in the Chor zur Welt sing a diverse programme with music from all the home regions of its members. But this time, fittingly for the focal point of the 2024/25 season, Brazil is the focus of the Elbphilharmonie’s participatory ensemble. More specifically, »música popular brasileira« (popular Brazilian music), »MPB« for short and also affectionately referred to as »nossa música« (our music) by Brazilians.
Heard and loved across all generations and communities, »MPB« combines many Brazilian traditions with pop music. Whether influences from rock, reggae, samba, bossa nova or from the music of Afro-Brazilian culture: everything from the cultural melting pot comes together here. This music is intoxicating, spreads a good mood and lets no one sit still – least of all the choir itself.
