New England Conservatory "Wildcard" (Contemporary Improvisation) Honors Ensemble Choro Bastardo performs pianist Henrique Eisenmann's "Piangerito". Choro is the traditional Brazilian instrumental music from the beginning of the 20th century. Choro Bastardo combines the traditional Choro style with each of the band members' different musical and cultural backgrounds to create a sonority that is different from the original, yet loyal to the playful spirit of that music. Choro Bastardo is:
Ilya Portnov, harmonica
Ben Andrews, violin
Henrique Eisenmann, piano
Cristian Budu, pandero

Recorded live in NEC's Jordan Hall, 1 April 2014.
