Youth and choro
Regional Carioca carries on the tradition.

One of the youngest choro ensembles in Rio de Janeiro, Regional Carioca aims to follow the path blazed by legendary conjuntos regionais of the past, such as the Regional do Canhoto and Época de Ouro.
In its short life. the group has turned over most of its members. The current lineup includes Ana Rabello (cavaquinho), Julião Pinheiro and Rafael Mallmith (guitars), Tiago Souza (bandolim), and Marcus Thadeu (percussion).
These are not just any kids. Ana Rabello and Julião Pinheiro are the children of Luciana Rabello and Paulo Cesar Pinheiro. Tiago Souza is the son of Ronaldo do Bandolim. And they are doing exactly what Raphael and Luciana Rabello did when forming Os Carioquinhas.
Regional Carioca is represented by Joaninha Produções, which posted three tracks from the CD Regional Carioca (Acari Records, 2005) for our listening pleasure. The entire album is devoted to the work of Joventino Maciel, a little-known fluminense bandolinist whose signature composition, “Cadência,” was recorded by Jacob do Bandolim and Época de Ouro on their classic album Vibrações.
