∞I was thinking of Villa-Lobos — his music is classical but if you listen carefully you hear Brazil. There’re panderos in the woodwinds. The French horns sound like surdo [Brazilian bass] or repinique [samba drums]. Villa-Lobos’ compositions reveal his experience of playing choro music in the streets.Jazz musician David Sánchez talks about Villa’s influence on his 2004 album Coral, in this article by Susan Kepecs. Lots more about this album here.
