Wallace Negao & Dolce Samba / Trio

Based in Marseille for about ten years, Wallace Negão is a tireless ambassador for Brazilian rhythms, a singer and cavaquinho player (the small four-string guitar emblematic of samba). With Dolce Samba, his trio featuring 100% Brazilian percussion—pandeiro, tantan, cuíca and tamborim—he turns the evening into a warm, dance-filled festa carioca, blending samba and bossa nova. A leading figure on Marseille’s Brazilian music scene, Wallace also leads the project Trio Combo Brazil (debut album in 2016, appearance at the Festival de Marseille), where Rio rhythms meet Creole and electro sounds. At La Caravelle, enjoy the most authentic and percussion-driven version of his musical world. Wallace Negão (vocals, cavaquinho) · Nico Dolce (percussion) · Chris Monteiro (percussion)
