This Friday, February 13, 2026, Malandra, the new album by Ão, is released via Mayway Records. A malandra is a woman who moves through the world with playfulness, intelligence and mischief — not always along the straight and narrow, but resolutely true to herself. With Malandra, Ão pay tribute to complexity, diversity and exploration in all its forms.
Blending captivating electronics, art pop, saudade and Latin alternative rock — all carried by Brenda’s Portuguese vocals — Ão have established themselves as one of the most vibrant acts on the Belgian scene. The quartet defies categorization, in the same vein as Stromae, Rosalía or C. Tangana.
