— Couldn’t get ticket(s) for this show? Ão is adding an extra date to their passage in Het Depot on November 25. Info & tickets can be found here. With their enchanting mix of electronics, art pop, afropop, saudade, and alternative Latin, Ão has grown into one of the most exciting acts in the Belgian music scene. The quartet has grown into a boundary-pushing, unique voice that evades every genre label, just as Stromae, Rosalía, or C. Tangana did. Brenda Corijn, who draws from her Mozambican-Portuguese roots, sings in Portuguese and English. Her warm voice merges with the southern guitar playing of Siebe Chau, the layered electronics of Jolan Decaestecker, and Bert Peyffers's eclectic percussion work. Live, Ão provides a compelling experience that enchants audiences throughout Europe. Their dynamic sound, ranging from fragile melodies to danceable beats, immerses you in a mesmerizing world where you never know where anything comes from. On February 13, 2026, their new album 'Malandra' will be released. A malandra is a woman who moves through life with humor, intelligence, playfulness, and cunning: not always honest, but always true to herself. In Met Malandra, Ão creates an ode to complexity, multiformity, and searching in all its guises. It sounds even more layered, rhythmic, playful, tender, and harder than their debut record 'Ao Mar'.
