It was 2013, and I was going to Brazil for the first time because I had just received a grant from the City of Paris to collect stories and legends from there and turn them into a play.I stayed there for three months and learned Portuguese, I met many friendly people and that made me to go back every year to perform.This album "Voz e Vocês" is a tribute to these encounters and to my love of Brazil.-CamilleThe magical culture of Brazil has captured the hearts of many.
