SambaDrive feat. Celeste Caramanna
Thursday, July 3rd - 8 p.m./3 a.m. - Théâtre de la Mer
Inspired by the iconic jazz-samba trios of the ‘60s and ‘70s, SambaDrive, a piano, bass and drums trio from Brazil, returns to Europe this summer. The group emerged from the improvised and often spontaneous jams that would preface live shows for Brazilian trailblazer, Marcelo D2. Touring the world together, they reunited with producer Mario Caldato Jr. and Marcelo D2 in 2022 to record an album together for Night Dreamer, drawn from four of Marcelo D2’s most loved albums, and nominated for Best Release at the 2025 Brazilian Music Awards.
Now, the band has teamed up with London-based singer-songwriter Celeste Caramanna, bringing a new show with fresh arrangements of iconic Brazilian and international tracks that have inspired generations of music lovers. From Sivuca to Black Sabbath, Marcos Valle to America, Elis Regina to Stevie Wonder, Dom Salvador to Bob James, and more, SambaDrive & Celeste Caramanna present: “9”.
