Dandara Modesto X Edwin Correia · Switzerland · 30 April 2026 · ★★★★★
Fascinating. Elegant. Mix.
LISTEN
Dandara Modesto X Edwin Correia’s Chama begins with the patient ballad “Luz,” which feels warm all the way through. The guitar offers a massage of tenderness. The vocals set you up and let you know: this is real and well intentioned. “Luz” sets up an album of cool sounds and real energy.
The emotional pace, pitch, and power of “Couro” captivate and make you want to move. Then it slows and lifts you up, almost dreamlike, before setting you back into the rhythm. The sound is impressive. The music surrounds you. The vocals are stunning. A Brazilian love affair. A French twist. A Swiss bliss.
The breakdown in “Forêt” is fascinating—like a walk in a seductive forest, full of life. You know there is a deeper meaning to everything being said. Clearly, someone is expressing themselves. So do yourself a favor: listen.
The elegant vocals of “Corte e Costura” are soulful and well done. The vocals are tight, and the guitar blends perfectly with them. “Sentir Sentido” has a heavenly mix that allows the melodic vocals to float from one ear to the other.
Choosing standouts is difficult. But the character of “Couro,” “Sentir Sentido,” and “Asa do Desejo” cannot be denied. The melodic vocals of Dandara Modesto should be heard worldwide. The musical stylings of Edwin Correia should be unleashed.
Some albums leave you wanting. Some leave you disappointed. This one invites you in, sits you down, and says: relax, enjoy.
