From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Alfredo da Rocha Vianna Filho, better known as Pixinguinha (1898-1973) was a Choro composer, arranger, flutist and saxophonist born in Rio de Janeiro. Through the legacy of the pioneering choro composers of the 19th century and of the Afro-Brazilian tradition, Pixinguinha produced the most important choro works of all time. Edifying the choro as a musical genre, he conferred on it personality and identity. Some of his notable compositions include Carinhoso and 1 X 0 (Um a Zero).
