"A captivating debut album with real originality and a promising future" Le Monde
Imbued with Latin tradition, Ëda Diaz has been exploring and refining her colorful, rich and elegant “Colombian-style French touch” since 2017. In this poetic space open to dance, his music rubs shoulders with traditional Latin American sounds, experimental pop influences and electronic, industrial productions, echoes of the city. Ëda's music is a reflection of the contrasts she chooses to address in her texts. Between contemplation and zapping, illusion and reality, madness and reason, his pieces highlight the contradictions specific to human beings and the search for a desirable future. “Attached to her roots, Ëda is as capable of restoring the voice of her ancestors by dressing them in the lights of the future as she is of captivating a cappella, stripped of all artifice by simply rubbing her hands"
Album Suave Bruta
"Syncopated Latin rhythms and warped electronics combine on the debut album from singer and bassist Ëda Diaz, Suave Bruta (Airfono). Diaz’s wistful jazz vocal creates a refreshing contrast with her often raw-edged production style, producing highlights like the frenetic Tiemblas” Guardian
“We predict big things.” DJ Mag (Eight emerging artists you need to hear)
“Through melding her bass playing and vocals with experimental electronica and traditional Afro-Columbian and Latin American rhythms, the eleven tracks on Suave Bruta represent a hybrid of Euro-Latin R&B, imbued with more than a hint of electro-pop sensibility. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a tumbler of gauro, canelazo or guarapo, and enjoy a refreshing new sound.” Folk Radio
"Eda Diaz's experiments are giving Spanish-language pop a new lease of life. The mix is smooth, both introspective and danceable, nostalgic and whimsical.." Télérama TTT
"A captivating debut album with real originality and a promising future." Le Monde
"A meandering album that moves from the intimate to the burlesque in the space of a few notes, takes little leaps forward in time and never ceases to surprise." Libération
"The delightful 'Suave Bruta', an album of references as numerous as they are masterful" France Culture
"Suave Bruta, the delicious elixir of Ëda Diaz, an addictive, danceable debut album." FIP RADIO
