Brazil and Europe in dialogue

During the recording of the album Latino Americano, Raphael du Valle performed a series of concerts in Barcelona, Málaga, Madrid and Sevilla, introducing European audiences to the power and sensitivity of Brazilian music.

Performing in bars, cafés and independent venues, the trio created authentic encounters between cultures. Each show worked as a living laboratory for the arrangements, dynamics and sound that would later define the album.

The final leg of the tour was captured by BBR Sessions, a Spanish channel dedicated to live music.

Through this journey, Latino Americano established itself as an international project and expanded Raphael's dialogue with new audiences and territories.
