A journey through the roots of samba
More than just a concert, the organizers assure us that “O Maior Encontro do Samba” is an authentic celebration of the history of one of Brazil’s most iconic genres.
The show will bring together three pillars of Brazilian music, with decades of hits between them, and promises to appeal to fans across generations.
With three of the biggest names in Brazilian music on the lineup, there will be no shortage of anthems that have crossed borders. Fans can expect to sing along in unison to must-hear classics like “Deixa a Vida Me Levar,” “Não Deixe o Samba Morrer,” “Coisinha do Pai,” “Verdade,” and “Você Me Vira a Cabeça.”

The return to Cascais after a record-breaking turnout
Coala Festival’s focus on blending Portuguese-speaking sounds—with a strong emphasis on Brazilian, Portuguese, and African music—has proven to be a winning formula.
After a 2026 edition that exceeded expectations by drawing more than 28,000 people over two days, the festival is solidifying its place on Cascais’ cultural calendar.
The event’s stage has already hosted giants such as Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Carminho, Slow J, Ney Matogrosso, and Liniker.
The confirmation of this special samba tour is just the first glimpse of the 2027 lineup, with further announcements expected in the coming months.
