9 pieces in Latin Style-9 Latin style pieces for both study and performance plus notes on the scores & fingering glossary of chord symbols and notes on rasgueados. The A-B-A-C-A Choros form is used as a basic structure for all of the pieces and the styles and moods of the music vary from traditional and classical to Bossa Nova and jazz samba. In Brasil the Choros (diminutive Chorinho) owes its development to musicians performing either solo or in groups who often being obliged to play long hours during functions and festivals would improvise and create variations on popular and traditional themes. The compositions here are all based on this idea of stating a theme andthen creating variations & contrasts. Although the melodic harmonic and rhythmic content of the Choros/Chorinho has evolved greatly over time its underlying beat feel is traditionally 2 per measure and written with a 2/4 time signature. This generally makes comfortable reading for the guitar player because the beamed note groupings define clearly the rhythm patterns to be played. However much music that originally appeared in 2/4 time is now published in 4/4 with a cut time feel and which seems to be favoured by many musicians including guitarists who work in folk and popular idioms. For this edition the time signature which allows a clearer page presentation is chosen for each piece and no musical difference between the 2/4 and the Cut-time signatures is intended.

Depuis plus de 30 ans, Celso Machado joue, enregistre et enseigne la guitare à travers le Brésil, l'Europe occidentale et le Canada. Né en 1953 à Ribeirao Presto, Sao Paulo (Brésil) au sein d'une famille de musiciens, Celso, tout comme ses frères, a hérité de la tradition musicale paternelle : un pied dans le classique, un autre dans la musique populaire brésilienne. La musique traditionnelle brésilienne est née au carrefour des influences africaine, portugaise et indigène : si les oeuvres de Celso Machado plongent leurs racines dans une profonde connaissance de cet héritage rythmique et mélodique, elles reflètent également l'irréductible fascination de Celso pour les autres musiques du monde. Celso a enregistré avec beaucoup d'artistes canadiens, brésiliens et européens mais a également produit de nombreux enregistrements solos. Son disque Varal, enregistré en 1997, ainsi que Jongo Lê, enregistré en 1999, ont été nommés au Canadian Juno Awards dans la catégorie 'Meilleur enregistrement' - sa partition, composée pour le film documentaire In the Company of Fear a remporté un Leo Award tandis qu'en 1999, sa composition pour A Place Called Chiapas a été également nommée pour la catégorie 'Meilleure partition musicale de film documentaire'.
