Who we are…

Cantoria do Amor is a musical duo from Basel, formed by Daniel Messina (Rio de Janeiro) and Daniel Somaroo (Caracas), who first crossed paths in 2016 at the Jazzcampus Basel. What began as an instant musical connection grew into a project that blends Brazilian influences with contemporary sounds.
Their music combines Brazilian styles, samba grooves, and subtle singer-songwriter elements, creating a warm, rhythmic, and unmistakably personal style. Their songs speak of connection, closeness, and the moments that shape us.
Throughout their work, Cantoria do Amor remains genuine and down-to-earth — two musicians sharing their roots, their musical curiosity, and their joy in making music together, inviting audiences into an intimate and vibrant musical world.
