Abstract

K-Ximbinho participated along with other musicians from the 1950s and 1960s in a process aimed at modernizing the samba and choro in the introduction of various jazz.elements into Brazilian traditional styles. This blending of different musical genres, known at the time as “samba-jazz” or “choro jazz” was not limited to mixing rhythmic, harmonic and melodic elements, but also in the negotiation of present expressions, images and ways from North-American culture in Rio de Janeiro in a pre Bossa Nova era.
