Nilze Carvalho - Choro de Menina (1980)

Nilze Carvalho began her performance career at age 6 as an early and phenomenal cavaquinho – mandolin – player. The cavaquinho is a Brazilian instrument used on a typical music genre from Rio de Janeiro, choro. Her incredible mastery of the cavaquinho, her natural musicality, and her precocious charisma, made her a reference, appearing on Brazil’s major radio and television shows. By age 14, she had recorded a series of four acclaimed LP’s.

The first Nilze Carvalho LP, Choro de Menina (1980), is a classical instrumental choro album, with the participation of Conjunto Epoca de Ouro and Netinho.
