Danilo Brito Biography
Danilo Brito is an award-winning wizard of the mandolin and an authority in the art of playing choro. His
repertoire spans more than a century from the birth of Brazil's first national music to the major composers
of Brazilian music to new compositions that expand the literature. His ability as a composer fuels his skill as
an interpreter: He understands a composer's intention and brings its essence forward with clarity that often
exceeds the original. The result honors the composition and goes deeper into its soul. To create at this level
requires virtuosity and musical wisdom that he earned in decades of playing with Brazil's greatest choro
musicians. Though he was born with the talent of a prodigy, many years of participation in rodas de choro,
gatherings of musicians to play choro repertoire, taught him the literature and performance practices of one
of the world's most challenging and beautiful musical genres. From this artistic incubator he has emerged
with emotive power that transcends choro and elevates him to be one of the world's most remarkable
musicians. Audiences throughout the world continue to be touched by his work, united by the verve and
structure of the original and blossoming anew in the 21st century.
