Jhonatan Walace is a Brazilian singer-songwriter from Salvador, Bahia. His 2010 song "Bons Tempos" became a national sensation, its catchy melody and optimistic lyrics connecting with listeners during a difficult period in Brazil. The track drew some criticism for being too light, but it remained popular regardless.
Beyond that single, Walace has released albums like "Tempo de Mudar," "Acústico," and "Dois Mundos." His music often blends pop with reggae and MPB, heard in songs like "Viva" and "Viver É o Que Interessa." He has worked with other Brazilian artists including Ivete Sangalo, Carlinhos Brown, and Caetano Veloso.
His band includes guitarist Alef Souza, bassist Caio Levy, drummer Raphael Castro, and keyboardist Breno Melo. Walace's influences range from reggae figures like Bob Marley to Brazilian musicians like Gilberto Gil.
