One word: heart

His work is rooted in heart, presence and honesty. What people remember is the atmosphere he creates: soft, loving, simple, truthful and deeply safe.

Momo has been connected with cacao for 17 years and hosted some of the first cacao ceremonies in Portugal. He is a father, a musician, a DJ and the founder of Coração de Cacau.

His ecstatic dance sets and cacao ceremonies have opened portals on dance floors across Europe and beyond.

What Momo brings

Organisers often book Momo for one thing. Most don’t know he can hold all of these, alone or together.

  • A crowd dancing with their arms up in front of Momo's decks

    Ecstatic dance set

    A musical journey, an expression of art where you travel through different emotions and rhythms, and lose the notion of time.

  • Momo sitting cross-legged with his arms open and a cup of cacao in his hand, the circle laughing and clapping around him under a dome

    Cacao ceremony

    With live music. Momo guides the circle with prayers and song, and everyone drinks the cacao together.

  • Momo playing two gongs on the grass at Sacred Soul Fest, people lying down around him

    Sound healing

    Gongs, bowls, ngoni (African harp), kalimba and flute, to create deep relaxation for body and soul.
