Jazzy, sophisticated and elegant, D'Agua Negra's new track is an antidote to chaos and a pure delight for the senses

 

 

Take a deep breath. Dive in. What follows is strangeness, surprise, welcome, and pleasure, basically in that order. Explicitly inspired by the mystical river that runs through Manaus, D'Água Negra is about resilience, yes, but much more about movement and the transformative and absolutely necessary power of art. 

 

Mixing the green of the jungle that floods (less and less) the eyes of the Amazonians, the dramatic red of the internal spaces of the Manaus theater, the gray of the industrial zone that surrounds the city, and the black, unavoidable, of the river waters, the group's chromatic palette is revealed. 

Escaping from obviousness, D'Água Negra is an Amazonian product, undoubtedly, but without any commitment to the regional cliché.
