Xocolate Band

Xocolate is a multi-cultural group that was born in 2015. Composed of Brazilian music and dance enthusiasts, Xocolate brings forró to life in Switzerland and beyond, where they regularly perform for a mixed audience of dancers and Brazilian music lovers. 

We perform a subtle mix of traditional forró music, including songs by the great Luiz Gonzaga and Gilberto Gil, revisiting popular music such as "Englishman in New York" or "La Vie en Rose" with a forró touch, as well as our own repertoire, mixing French and Portuguese, our languages of heart. 

Our guitar, saxophone, cavaquinho and shamanic drum complete the traditional instruments of forró, impregnating our melodies with all the music of the world.
