João Macacão

**João Macacão** is a vibrant Brazilian musician keeping traditional sounds alive while adding his own modern twist. Known for blending choro, samba, and nostalgic Brazilian rhythms, his tracks like "Três Apitos" and "Baile de Choro" feel like joyful street parties packed into song. His work often celebrates regional instruments like the cavaquinho and pandeiro, but he’s not afraid to layer in contemporary beats or collaborate with artists across genres.

Though he keeps his personal life low-key, his music speaks volumes—tracks like "Consequências" and "Serestando" showcase his knack for storytelling through lush melodies and playful improvisation. A regular at cultural festivals and intimate rodas de choro, João Macacão has become a bridge between Brazil’s rich musical past and its genre-blurring present. Fun fact: He’s rumored to have learned to play the mandolin from his grandmother’s vinyl collection!
