Dois no Choro was formed in 1997, and is comprised of Julie Koidin, flute, and Paulinho Garcia, guitar and vocals. After hearing a CD of Brazilian flutist, Altamiro Carrilho in 1995, Julie began her interest in and dedication to Brazilian choro music (a genre originating in Brazil in the late 1800s, mixing African rhythms and European dance melodies). She met Paulinho Garcia, Chicago's best Brazilian guitarist/vocalist in 1997, and their duo was formed.
Since then, their performances have ranged from live concerts to performing on WFMT-FM radio, and recording two CDs, one of which was in the first round nominations of the 2003 Latin Grammy Awards ("Juntos").
The name "Dois no Choro" means "Two in Choro" in Portuguese. The sound of Julie's flute intertwining with Paulinho's suave vocals and rhythmic guitar creates a blend that is perfectly balanced and reminiscent of a warm Rio night.
Dois no Choro presents a broad range of Brazilian repertoire, featuring both traditional choro (Pixinguinha and Jacob do Bandolim) and contemporary choro (Hermeto Pascoal and Paulinho Garcia). They also perform other Brazilian styles such as samba, frevo and bossa nova, including favorites by Tom Jobim such as "Girl from Ipanema," "Inutil Passagem," and "Corcovado."
Dois no Choro's repertoire is rich and varied, and in addition to Brazilian genres, includes selections from Argentina (tangos and zambas), as well as from Puerto Rico and other South American countries.
Dois no Choro is available for educational programs, concerts, and corporate and private functions.
