Editor's note

Gabriel Cavalcante's samba and Brazilian pop

A Rio street performer turned songwriter whose music blends samba rhythms with contemporary Brazilian sounds.

For a good sense of his sound, try 'Mar Maior' first, then maybe 'Ponte Partida'.

Cavalcante's songs like 'Mar Maior' and 'Ponte Partida' work with samba rhythms and Brazilian pop elements, giving traditional forms a current shape. The lyrics circle around love and place, sometimes with a political edge as in 'Ano de Eleição'. He plays with a band that includes Joana Campos on drums and Pedro Rosa on bass.

He started as a street performer in Rio de Janeiro before releasing his debut single 'Quando o Samba Veio Me Buscar' in 2017. Since then he's put out albums including 'Nosso Samba' in 2019 and 'Alma Brasileira' in 2023.
