 Biography  
 
by Alvaro Neder

Luciana Rabello has had noted participation in the support of the choro genre. One of the few soloists of cavaquinho, she participated, with her brother Raphael Rabello, in several groups. She was also in the Camerata Carioca, one of the most important choro groups of the '70s and '80s, which counted on, among other talents, Radamés Gnattali. She has been recording with important names of Brazilian music and released her first solo album in 2000, through her own label, Acari Records.

Rabello began to learn the violão (acoustic guitar) with her grandfather at age six. She also studied classical piano for five years. At 13, she started to write her own compositions. In 1975, she formed the choro group Os Carioquinhas with her brother Raphael and members Paulinho do Bandolim, Théo (six-string violão), and Mário (pandeiro), and she switched to the cavaquinho. Soon Maurício Carrilho replaced Théo, and Celsinho Silva (percussion) joined the group. With the dissolution of the Os Carioquinhas in 1978, Luciana, Raphael, Carrilho, and Silva were invited by Joel Nascimento to accompany him at Radamés Gnattali's "Retratos" suite. Excited with the result, Radamés decided to join the formation and the Camerata Carioca was created. The group, which blended elements of choro and erudite music, had a prominent role in the revitalization of the genre.

After her departure of the Camerata (together with Raphael and Silva) for her solo work, she has been accompanying names (in recording sessions and live shows) like Elizeth Cardoso, Paulinho da Viola, Cristóvão Bastos, Francis Hime, Chico Buarque, Martinho da Vila, Joel Nascimento, Baden Powell, Toquinho, Copinha, and Abel Ferreira. In 1981 and 1982, she toured Europe. She married Paulo César Pinheiro in 1985. Jonas, the cavaquinho player of the Época de Ouro, dedicated the choro "Manga Rosa" to her, which she recorded on her first solo album, Luciana Rabello, released in 2000 through her own label (with Maurício Carrilho) Acari Records, which specialized in artistic popular music.

In 30 years of a career as multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer, Júlio Pereira has guided his artistic concern by parameters that have the universality of cultural events as reference.
This, in no way contradicts the importance of his work in the scope of the traditional Portuguese music and the ethnic consideration of sounds and their roots. His work has always aimed to the incorporation of Portuguese tradition in aesthetic currents that mark the successive "contemporarities".
Thus, his ouevre, comprising 17 LPs, after reflecting the importance of the 70s musical innovation, starts to focus in recovering and renovating the sounds of "almost lost" traditional instruments – of that, the most paradigmatic examples are Cavaquinho (1981), Braguesa (1982), and  O meu bandolim (1992) – as well, especially since the 90s, the combination of these sounds with (always) new acoustic solutions – as Rituais (2000) documents significantly. All this places him, beyond his key role in the
Portuguese music scenario of the 20th century last decades, also as a musician of the new century.

Although Júlio Pereira’s work, since the album Cavaquinho (1981), didn’t extend to the composition of music for lyrics, his poetic selectivity led him to produce an album – Faz de conta - which intersects with core Portuguese speaking authors, such as Eugénio de Andrade and Vinicius de Moraes.

In Graffiti, his new album, to be heard from the beginning of the new year, the words’ sound is back associating the most significant voices of World Music to his work after Geografias (2007), which definitely marked the composer’s universality and the stage return of the instrumentalist.

Julio Pereira’s experience and musical testimony are attested by almost an hundred discs where he performed as an instrumentalist, orchestrator or producer. Mention must be made to the importance of his close ties to the career of José Afonso, since the late 70s, as well as his participation in joint works with Pete Seeger and The Chieftains and also Kepa Junkera, Chico Buarque, Dulce Pontes, Sara Tavares, Carlos do Carmo, etc.

Waldir Azevedo nascimento 27/01/1923 falescimento 21/09/1980

Compositor e cavaquinista que mais contribuiu para a divulgação do choro nos anos 50, foi o compositor dos clássicos "Brasileirinho", "Pedacinhos do Céu" e o baião "Delicado", que alcançou enorme sucesso nos Estados Unidos na versão do maestro Percy Faith, entre muitos outros choros. Criado nos subúrbios do Rio de Janeiro, aprendeu flauta, violão e cavaquinho na infância. Mais tarde trabalhou na companhia de energia Light, emprego que abandonou em 1945 para ocupar a vaga de cavaquinho no regional de Dilermando Reis, na Rádio Clube do Brasil. No final de 1949 lançou o disco que continha "Brasileirinho", um enorme sucesso comercial em todo o mundo. Azevedo excursionou pela Europa, Japão e Estados Unidos tocando suas músicas. Algumas dessas turnês eram bancadas pelo Itamaraty, numa iniciativa de divulgar a música brasileira. Com mais de 20 LPs gravados, mudou-se para Brasília em 1971, onde viveu até a sua morte.
  
Waldir Azevedo (Rio De Janeiro, January 23, 1923 - São Paulo, September 21, 1980) was a choro conductor and performer. He wrote 130 compositions during his lifetime and played the cavaquinho. He is considered by many to be the first Brazilian cavaquinho shredder ever.

The Cavaquinho is also in Brazil (where it enjoys a bigger popularity then in Portugal), being present in all
regional groups of choros, emboladas, bailes pastoris, sambas, ranchos, chulas, bumbas-meu-boi,
cheganças de marujos, cateretês, etc
