Noir Brésil

Description

Yndi Da Silva is a Franco-Brazilian composer, performer, and producer. Under the pseudonym Dream Koala, she gained international recognition for the ethereal pop she composes in her EPs: Odyssey (2013), Earth. Home. Destroyed (2014), and Exodus (2015), accumulating millions of streams on digital platforms. In 2017, she stepped back from the stage to begin writing what would become her first album: Noir Brésil. In the following years, producer Gabriel Legeleux (Superpoze), mixer Sylvain de Barbeyrac, and the all-female batucada group Zalindê joined the project until its completion. Oscillating between Portuguese and French, and provoking the meeting of synthesizers and the skin of drums, Yndi imagines a contemporary song across her thirteen tracks where dreaminess, fury, and saudade succeed one another, far from clichés. Thus, "Dia de Carnaval" is a song on the border of bossa nova that illustrates a slow-motion carnival where spirits and the living intersect, while the track "Amazona" is a tribute to the anger and strength necessary for women in the contemporary world. Like her first album, "Novo Mundo" is a bright and hopeful piece. It is the promise that a new world and a new life are always possible.
