Ão

In recent years, Ão has established themselves in Belgium and Europe with their enchanting blend of electronica, art pop, Afropop, saudade, and alternative Latin - a boundary-pushing sound that defies genre labels, much like Stromae, Rosalía, or C. Tangana did before them Frontwoman Brenda Corijn, drawing from her Mozambican-Portuguese roots, sings in Portuguese and English. Her warm voice merges with Siebe Chau's southern guitar, Jolan Decaestecker's layered electronics and production, and Bert Peyffers' eclectic percussion Their second album Malandra will be released on February 13. Between embrace and threat, the sound is more expansive, sensual, raw and playful, the breath deeper and the rhythm more urgent than ever Songs emerged from forgotten chords, hidden jams, fragments of text, accidents, iPhone footage... They keep hungrily searching for new sounds, with new instruments like charango, bandoneon, tiple, horns, synths, and cuica Live, Ão delivers a captivating experience that enchants audiences across Europe. Their dynamic sound immerses you in a mesmerizing world of percussion, beats, electronics, and intricate guitar pierced by Corijn's glowing voice. You never know where anything comes from. In 2026, Ão will present their new album on an international tour Ão is pronounced like meow without the me, [ɐ͂w̃] for the phoneticians. It still means nothing and everything at once: something beautiful [aaw], something sad or painful [oww], a feeling of wonder [auuw]
