Biography

Dao is an artist who represents the Black Music from Brazil. Born in Bahia, Dao carries with him a legacy of great musicians and rhythms that influenced his musical style. Samba, Funk, Soul, Pop, Reggae, and Rock are the rhythms that most influenced this artist. The album “Para Embelezar a Noite”, To Beautify the Night, released in 2009, can definitely show how this great singer mixed those rhythms in a new beat. Dão`s songs have been attracting and seducing music lovers throughout the world. Recently he and Caravanablack have been on tour of 9 shows in 9 different cities in the United Kingdom. As a singer, songwriter, and dancer, Dão has been showing the new face of music from Bahia. In 2008, Dão participated in a series of important events related to the history and music from Bahia.

In 2010, Dão led the Quilombolasoul Trio during the largest street party in the world, the Carnival of Salvador. In the following year, he took a trip to Luanda that influenced him profoundly. From this enhancing experience in the motherland new songs and beats came up. During a concert in Luanda, Dão shared the stage with Wyza, a famous Angolan musician who represents Kilapaga music. In between trips during the year of 2011, Dão did three big concerts in Salvador. The first one took place in January when he played before Lenine at Concha Acústica of Castro Alves Theater, TCA, one of the biggest cultural spot in Salvador. This concert was sponsored by the project Petrobrás de Música.

This concert was widely announced on the media. The audience really appreciated all of Dão`s songs and surrended to the Black Music thus consolidating the work of this great artist in Bahia. In November of 2011, Dão was one of the main musical attractions of Afro XXI, a special Iberian-American summit of the “International Year of African Descendants”. Critics considered this concert simply as brilliant. The audience went into ecstasy at Tereza Batista square in Pelourinho, Historic Center of Salvador.

After two successful concerts in the historic center of Salvador and a beautiful participation in the most important party of Ilê Aiyê in the Night of the Black Beauty, Dão led the Quilombolasoul Trio for the second time in the Carnival of Salvador.
