About the band
Carioca Soul are excited to have released their debut Ep in late August 2021. After supporting bands such as Jools Holland at the Royal Albert Hall and having a top 40 album with the band Ten Millennia in 2018. Pianist/ musical director and composer Wayne Pollock has a new project - Carioca Soul
Inspired by the music of Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66 the band perform an eclectic mix of Bossa Nova/Samba, contemporary Brazilian music mixed with original tunes in a melting pot of latin/funk and soul. Having already supported US Sax star Harry Allen, Carioca Soul have been performing at local festivals and jazz clubs across the UK.
"Carioca Soul have just made their third appearance at Scarborough Jazz. Every visit is a gem of a night and it's great to see the band develop as a unit, with a freshness and vigour that the audience finds infectious. We are already looking forward to visit number four". Scarborough Jazz
