Portuguese term or phrase: Você está sabendo do show de chorinho que vai ter?
How should we translated this is a movie?


Bearing in mind subtitling had no footnotes, how to deal with these cultural related expressions or words that present no translation in any other language than the source one? Any advice, suggestion?

Thanks!

Asker: Thanks for your suggestion, I was even thinking of using folk music.

neutral  Amy Duncan (X): "Brazilian pop music" is too general - better to leave it as "chorinho" or "choro." I also would not use "folk music."

Did you know there's going to be a chorinho music show?


Explanation:
I would leave in the source term but add in "music" to provide at least some clue for the viewer who doesn't know what a chorinho show is.

agree  Amy Duncan (X): I wouldn't even bother with "music," since anyone interested in chorinho would know what it is.
50 mins
  -> You're right, and I'm kicking myself for not thinking of "concert" instead of music show, which both sounds natural in the context of the two speakers *and* clues in the movie audience (who may not know chorinho from chorizo).
