Nacar, from Brazilian mother-of-pearl to French synth

Kamila, a singer from the north east of Brazil, Jeff on the percussion choirs and arrangements, Galaël on the synth and the alfaïa, a traditional drum, sign the music of Nacar, a Périgord group which signs songs with a nostalgic aftertaste of the bossa nova. She, Kamila, the singer, deep and refined dancer, feminist and free who transports the crystal of her voice in Périgord tells us about her native land and her commitments, what her feminine ancestry is. A woman who has a lot of strength and character.

Nacar’s music is reminiscent of the light in mother-of-pearl, mineral and shiny

The name of NACAR, it is Galaël, member of the Rythmopathes in Périgueux, followers of body percussions, who found it. Everyone said yes, because Jeff, a former SIAM student in Bordeaux, and Galaël traveled to Brazil and met Kamila there, in Recife, where music, dance, song and language are inseparable. And where mother-of-pearl is precious. Nacar, it is the multitude of traditional Afro-Brazilian rhythms from the North East of Brazil which are associated with a technique of songs typical of Pernambuco to which Kamila brought her years of classical education at the conservatory of Recife, and Jeff and Galaël knew how to mix the music of their Old Continent. Kamila likes to tell stories, like in the French songs she loves. And this is also the spirit of Nacar.
