Caravela has been played on NTS shows including Tropic of Love w/ Mafalda , with Maraguês first played on 27 January 2019.

With feet planted firmly in the traditions of Afro-Brazilian music, Caravela’s heart is full of the soaring creativity and fervour that comes with improvised jazz. Weaving melodies around vibrant South American and West African-inspired rhythms, their music is sensitive and full of passion, energy and life. Like the physalia physalis they take their name from, Caravela are setting out to explore territories unknown. Uncovering music that others have left behind or simply long-forgotten, they write and give a new voice to songs that should not remain silent.
