The Nó em Pingo d'Água are a choro group who renovated venerable language through the use of uncanny sonorities. Formed in 1978 by flutist/saxophonist Mário Seve and percussionist Celsinho, the Nó em Pingo d'Água began their activities in an orthodox setting with mandolin, seven- and six-string violões (acoustic guitars), and cavaquinho, along with the aforementioned instruments. Experimenting in several different formations throughout the years, they adopted several resources taken from Camerata Carioca regarding the elaboration of arrangements and the sophistication of execution (dynamics) and instrumentation (solos taken in turns by different instruments).
