Alvorada's second album

We are Alvorada, a quintet specialising in choro and instrumental Brazilian music. Since 2016 we have been bringing the irresistible sounds of choro to audiences around London and the UK. And now we are at the exciting stage of producing a second album!

We released and toured our debut album 'First Light' in 2019, and were delighted by the response from audiences and critics. In addition to sold shows around the UK, we played at the International Choro Festival in Paris. We received a 5-star review from Songlines magazine, and were featured on BBC Radio 3 and Jazz FM. We won the Latin UK award for Best Brazilian Band, and the Focus Brasil press awards for Best Brazilian group. 

We have since been working towards a new album, with a view to making a bolder yet more considered work of art. We recorded the new material last November and have recently been putting the final touches to the tracks. This new project shows a deeper and more mature sound from the band, with intricate arrangements of almost all original compositions. We view the world of choro through a wider lens, including influences such as baião, xote, jazz and tango. We are also delighted to be featuring two guest artists, Brazilian accordion maestro Vitor Gonçalves and Israeli pianist Roee Ben Sira. Their participation is a stunning addition to the already beautiful-sounding album.
