Kabeção | FULL | Camaleão Live Session

Camaleão Live Session can be described in just three words: intimate, warm, empathetic. These sessions were created as a way of showing our studio, our sound and the bands we greatly admire. We saw in our lounge area an opportunity to do something that would bring the audience closer to these artists, so that they could meet their human side.

♫ Kabeção ♫

Known for his inspiring handpan music, Kabeção is a Portuguese
multi-instrumentist, composer and sound healer.

By exploring music and sound with his unique, poetic, and percussive style, he pushed forward the art form and extended the musical universe of handpans/pantams.

He was a boy when, with percussions and rhythm, Kabeção fell in love for sound exploring. Self-taught, he never stopped since then to experiment different types of instruments - from strings to woodwinds - combining eclectic influences and his very personal approach to sound into powerful music.

Since 2008 he collaborated in different musical projects:

Tribolados (Reggae/Ska),
Hikari (Drum n’Bass/Jungle/Bossa Nova),
T3ka ( Acoustic Trance)
Gapura (Klezmer/World Jazz)
Khayalan (Ethnic/Contemporary/World Music).

Finalist on Portugal "Got Talent" in 2015, Kabeção then travelled with his handpans/pantams for few years across more than 20 countries ; in Europe, Japan, India, Israel, Russia, China, USA, Canada, Thailand ...

The benevolent international community gathered around his music crowd-funded his first long-awaited double album "TOUCHING SOULS", exceeding his goals and released in September 2017.

During the following tour, Kabeção composed new pieces inspired by the human and musical experiences he shared around the globe.

He launched another successful crowdfunding campaign in 2019, for his second opus - "FREEDOM EXPRESSIONS"- a triple album with guests, released on October 31th, 2020.

Meanwhile, nourished by his intimate relationship with the pantams, Kabeção designs - in collaboration with YISHAMA - original and unique layouts that inspired an entire generation in the handpan history.

In 2020, he opens the Pantam School in Portugal where he works with a group of instruments specially designed and created with YISHAMA as an ensemble. The classes already began...

Released music:

2012 EP “High Gain Natural Awakening”
2014 Compilation LP "Cosmic Seed"
2017 Double LP "Touching Souls"
2018 Live Album "The Bell Cave"
2020 LP "Freedom Expressions"
