From the left to the right, the three musicians from the Pedreira Guitar Orchestra coming to Dili this week are Claudio Cassiani, Lucas Pazini and João Raimundo Mourão.

The Pedreira Guitar Orchestra was formed on April 9th, 2002 in Pedreira, Sao Paolo, Brazil, by Claudinho Cassiani. Currently the Orchestra has 30 members, all from Pedreira, working together to preserve their  culture and folklore, with the costumes, music and dance of the region. The Pedreira Guitar Orchesta has a repertoire of dozens of pieces, most of which are popular classics, such as Chalana, Berrante de Ouro and Tristeza do Jeca. 

A ORQUESTRA DE VIOLEIROS DE PEDREIRA foi formada em 09 de Abril de 2002 no município de Pedreira interior de São Paulo, pelo Diretor de Cultura e Músico Claudinho Cassiani, que iniciou seus trabalhos com a 1ª Missa Sertaneja de Pedreira, desde então suas apresentações não pararam mais. Atualmente a Orquestra conta com 30 músicos, todos de nossa cidade onde o objetivo é preservar as tradições da Cultura Caipira e o Folclore Brasileiro através dos Costumes, Músicas e Danças em nosso município e região. A Orquestra de Violeiros de Pedreira possui um repertório de dezenas de músicas, em sua maioria clássicos do cancioneiro popular como Chalana, Berrante de Ouro, Tristeza do Jeca entre outras. 


The movie for this week, "2 Filhos de Francisco",  tells the story of Francisco, a very simple and poor man whose dream was to see his children become country music stars, and who made every effort to make it happen. See the Cinema Lorosae website for more information. 
See you down there! TGIF!
