Brazilian artist Flavia Coelho today announces the release of her fifth album ‘GINGA’ via [PIAS] Le Label. Flavia Coelho is continuing her exploration of identity and her quest for authenticity, tackling the themes of reconstruction, courage, and resilience, with her loyal producer and arranger Victor Vagh-Weinmann, whom she met in her early days in France. Together, they initiated and designed all the compositional material, electro pads, organs, keyboards, guitars, and percussion. These ingredients, combined with the catchy melodies and sublime voice of the bewitching Flavia, have given life to the ten nuggets of ‘GINGA’. Mainly sung in Portuguese, ‘GINGA’ is dedicated to the music that marked her adolescence, in other words, the sound from the early 90s to the 2000s that Flavia Coelho listened to repeatedly, sometimes in secret, on the little radio her father had given her to help her fall asleep. On the contrary, for little Flavia, every night was a fiesta, awake until 2am, listening to international club music, DJ sets and remixes in bed with the transistor radio glued to her ear. She discovered the art of production, the subtlety of certain harmonies, the magic of melodies, and was already imagining herself on stage, like her idols, Madonna, Michael Jackson, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, and all the great Brazilian artists of the time... Not forgetting Corona, the singer, not the beer! She was amazed when Flavia Coelho discovered that the singer of her anthem, "The Rhythm of the Night" - her real name was Jenny Bersola - was, like her, Brazilian!
