Wallace Negão adds a touch of Samba to a Stevie Wonder classic…
AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE – ON JAZZ RADIO PLAYLIST
A Brazilian artist who sings about the diversity and richness of his culture, WALLACE NEGÃO recalls his childhood in Pavuna, a working-class district of Rio de Janeiro. This wonderful melody, often played on the radio, took the child on a journey, introducing him to American music through the voice of Stevie Wonder!
To announce his debut album, Wallace invites us with his soulful voice to discover his adaptation of “Ma chérie amour” – the first version in Portuguese, with lyrics and percussion by Christophe Monteiro, cavaquinho and the voice of WALLACE NEGÃO. Direction and production by Dani Mendez – a young American artist who shares Wallace’s passion for music, having discovered it through the voice and genius of Stevie Wonder – something we couldn’t leave out! This tribute heralds the forthcoming release of WALLACE NEGÃO’s debut album, featuring her own compositions. Stay tuned! Wishing you a summer of dance with the one you love… WALLACE NEGÃO takes care of the atmosphere… “Ma chérie amour”. Ma chérie amour” ❤️
