Since 2017, French-Colombian bassist and singer Ëda Diaz has been exploring and refining what she calls her “French touch in the Colombian way”, to create her innovative mix of traditional Latin American sounds, experimental pop influences and electronic, industrial productions, spanning city and savanna with poetry and dance. French through her mother, Colombian through her father, she grew up between Paris – where she studied classical music at the Boulogne-Billancourt Conservatory – and Medellín – where every summer she would soak up her grandmother's passion for the tangos of Carlos Gardel, romantic boleros, jubilatory bambucos and a whole repertoire of popular South American music from Colombian vallenatos to Ecuadorian waltzes. On her debut album Suave Bruta, Ëda Diaz weaves all these elements of her imagination into a joyously eclectic signature sound, masterfully constructed together with producer Anthony Winzenrieth.
