NIDIA & VALENTINA - Estradas

"Paris' Latency presents Estradas, an electrifying dance music album by multi-instrumentalist Valentina Magaletti and Afro-Portuguese beat-maker Nídia. The album follows the footsteps of Moritz von Oswald, Laurel Halo, Duval Timothy, Angel Bat Dawid, Mohammad Reza Mortazavi, and more on the French label. Estradas ("roads" in Portuguese), born from the Sicilian heat and refined under English rain, transcends cultural and environmental barriers, showcasing the duo's rhythmic expertise and connection through intricate beats and infectious melodies. The album celebrates the universal language of music, immersing listeners in a world where rhythm reigns supreme and movement is inevitable. Nídia and Valentina continuously meet "on the road," sharing a sonic adaptation to the urgency and context of different environments. Their exchange of vibes and beats resonates with all these diverse places. Produced by Tom Halstead (Raime/Moin), Estradas masterfully blends syncopated drum patterns, pulsating marimba lines, and melodic interludes."
