Hello my friends from Barcelona! Dendê and Band is coming to @marulacafe on Wednesday, October 14th!

Come join us on this incredible night filled with Afro-Brazilian rhythms, a lot of energy and LOTS of fun with Dendê and Band featuring special guests.

Dendê & Band reflects the cross-section of my deep roots in traditions like samba de roda and Candomblé and his eclectic musical appetite for other global rhythms like rumba, afrobeat and mbalax.

Bring the friends and family! I I will see you all there. 🪘

The part 2 of the Nitra vlog is here! I had so much fun and cannot wait to return! @campanafest was once again an amazing festival that united artists from all around the world with a mission to celebrate world wide culture and bring a lot of joy to the community. Once again, a huge thank you to my brother @_igorholka_ , the artists that shared the stage with me, and all the Slovakian community who have always done an amazing work representing Brazil. 🇧🇷❤️🇸🇰
