The project is driven by Nicola Són, French singer-songwriter, nicknamed by Jô Soares-a great figure in Brazilian television-"the most Brazilian of French singers". Installed for several years in Brazil, Nicola Són has performed there repeatedly, especially on two occasions in the program cultma do Jô .

Formed by eight Brazilian and French musicians from the Parisian scene, OS Pariocas explores the heritage of the Black Rio from the 1970s, where Samba, Soul, Funk and African-American music mixed up to give birth to a vibrant genre: Samba-Soul, also called Samba-Rock or Sambalanço.

Under the musical direction of the saxophonist Yann Jankielewicz - composer and producer who collaborated with legends such as Manu Dibango or Tony Allen - The group offers a modern and energetic rereading of this repertoire, mixing original creation and arranged covers. OS Pariocas brings in Paris and Rio dialogue in a mixed, festive and committed groove.
