Brazilian Contemporary Classical

Brazilian Contemporary Classical music is a genre of classical music that combines traditional classical music with elements of Brazilian folk music. It is characterized by its use of traditional Brazilian instruments such as the berimbau, cavaquinho, and pandeiro, as well as its incorporation of Brazilian rhythms and melodies. It often features improvisation and is often performed by small ensembles. It is a relatively new genre, having emerged in the late 20th century, and is still evolving.
