Ada Oda
Discovered on the Brussels scene at the end of 2021, Ada Oda delivers an up-tempo, binary rock that evokes the boldness of 1980s post-punk and the melodic charm of Italian pop. The project was initiated in 2020 by César Laloux (The Tellers, BRNS), who met Victoria Barracato on Tinder and, noticing the Italian nature of her name, suggested she sing his songs in Italian. Victoria accepted the challenge.
„Un Amore Debole“ the band’s first album (Nov. 2022, 62TV/PIAS), brings together ten pop songs built from deliberately sparse demos (drum machine, guitar, and melody). In this album, César describes, sometimes with a touch of irony, his vision of love and the people around him. His lyrics are first translated into Italian and then adapted by Victoria. The album made an impressive debut, and some tracks like „Un Amore Debole“ or „Niente da Offrire“ became little hits across Europe, especially in Italy!
On stage, the duo is joined by Clément Marion on bass (David Numwami, Judith Kiddo), Alex De Bueger (Gros Coeur), and Aurélien Gainetdinoff (Yolande Bashing) on guitar. The band has performed over 200 concerts in around twenty countries. With a reputation for delivering outstanding live performances, Ada Oda has played at major European festivals such as Rock en Seine, Best Kept Secret, Pukkelpop, MI AMI, ESNS, and even the prestigious SXSW in Austin in 2024, marking their first time outside Europe.
The group now returns with their second LP, set for release on February 21, 2025. The first single, titled „Sotto La Conchiglia“ (trans. „Under the Shell“), will be available on October 16 and a second preview entitled ‘Immobile’ on November 27th.
