Aleh is a Brazilian singer and composer from Rio de Janeiro who contributed in reviving the Banda Black Rio with Wilian Magalhaes, a Brazilian jazz-funk band originally formed in 1976 by Wilian’s father.

He also gained attention co-producing Cassiano’s album, considered the precursor of soul Brazilian music together with Tim Maia!
OG in the house basically…

His quintet will be joined by a wicked horn section to power the infectious grooves of Banda Black Rio’s compositions.

***** Carvela *****

With feet planted firmly in the traditions of Afro-Brazilian music, Caravela’s heart is full of the soaring creativity and fervour that comes with improvised jazz. Weaving impressionistic Portuguese melodies around vibrant South American and West African-inspired rhythms, their music is sensitive and full of passion, energy and life.
