Concert : João Selva - Millau Jazz - Théâtre Maison du Peuple

The son of a pastor from Ipanema, João Selva has clearly established himself as the leading voice of Brazilian Tropicalism. Radiant and rich, his musical world spans a wide range of genresEureka-like range of influences, from Rio samba to Angolan semba, from Cape Verdean funana to Caribbean zouk, from Congolese rumba to American funk.

His fourth studio album, *Onda* (“The Wave”), confirms his desire to seamlessly and playfully connect the musical elements of the Black Atlantic, while incorporating disco, soul, and jazz into his explosive mix. By turns danceable and poetic, across the ten tracks of this hedonistic album, João Selva takes us into the heart of his invigorating world. Get ready for a celebratory moment: each of these performances, with his stage partners, is like an invigorating machine for dancing and dreaming!
