Life
Joaquim Calado is considered the father of choro in Brazil. He began at the age of 8 years to learn flute and piano, probably under the guidance of his father, who himself was an active musician and music teacher. From a young age he played at dance events. At 15, he composed the piece Querosene, which was a success, four years later, Carnaval. He became a virtuoso on the flute and composed many Lundus, Modinhas, polkas, quadrilles and waltzes. His composition Flor amorosa part of the standard repertoire of many flutists from the area of Choro. His merit was to combine traditional European music with African rhythms and thus to create its own national Brazilian music style. His own group was known as the O Choro de Calado, consisting of a flute, two guitars and cavaquinho. All musicians of his group had the opportunity to improvise on the harmonic structure of the pieces, a typical characteristic of the Choro. Joaquim Calado was a friend and supporter for many musicians, including his students, the flautist Viriato Figueira and pianist Chiquinha Gonzaga.
