Biography

Cauê Granello, artistically known as Dada Yute, is a Brazilian singer-songwriter born in São Paulo, SP, on December 7, 1986. He began his musical career at age 17 as a backing vocalist in the São Paulo band Leões de Israel, where he gained experience and recognition, performing numerous shows across Brazil. In 2006, he took over as the band's lead vocalist and, the following year, began developing his solo work.

Dada Yute is recognized for his fusion of reggae with elements of pop, hip hop, and dancehall, creating a contemporary sound known as "new roots." His music carries positive messages, addressing themes such as freedom, nature, and cultural rescue, with strong influence from Rastafarian and Jamaican culture. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with several renowned artists, such as Rashid, Heavy Baile, Tropkillaz, Matuê, Rael, Arnaldo Antunes, Ivete Sangalo, Criolo, Seu Jorge, and Rincon Sapiência.

With a career that has already crossed Brazil's borders, Dada Yute has performed in countries such as Jamaica, Spain, Portugal, France, Chile, and Mexico. He has also participated in important projects, such as the album "Jah-Van," which reinterpreted Djavan songs to a reggae rhythm, and tribute shows to Cássia Eller alongside Zélia Duncan and Lan Lanh. Dada Yute is considered one of the innovators of Brazilian reggae, constantly seeking new aesthetics and expanding the limits of the genre.
