Among his influences are famous Brazilian names such as Vinicius de Moraes, Caetano Veloso and Chico Buarque, but also great Portuguese musicians such as Márcio Silva, João Grilo and Miguel Araújo.
This year he has played a residency in Porto, after having gone through Madeira, Estarreja and Sintra, always receiving a great reception from the public. And in May he presented his first original song, “La Dança,” (the Dance) which will be included in his debut album, due to be released in early 2019.

Latin Party @ Pub Kriok (Lapa) – The original party that brought reggaeton to Rio is always ready to bring the disorder.
The night is free and has an open bar of beer and caipirinha until midnight. What more could a party need? How about some drinking games, random shots, and dance-offs? DJ Slim, DJ Allan Braz, DJ Muchacho Malo, plus VJ Rafael C are going to be taking over two floors of Pub Kriok and pumping out some of the finest reggaeton, funk and pop all through the night.
On the first floor will be reggaeton, latin pop, world music, hiphop, pop and much more. On the second floor will be merengue, trance, salsa, funk and a whole lot more Miami-style rhythms. After midnight there is a two-for-one offer on caipirinha and catuaba. There will be great photographers capturing the magic, LED light shows, excellent air-conditioning over three floors. This is a night that will go on for a long time (eight years running so far).
