Ada Oda

In the artist's words:

Italian post-punk from the Brussels underground? Ada Oda offers an energetic blend of music at the crossroads of eighties rock and Italian pop. The project was initiated in 2020 by César Laloux (The Tellers, BRNS, Italian Boyfriend), who met Victoria Barracato on Tinder and suggested, given the consonance of her name, that she sing on his tracks in Italian. Victoria accepted the challenge, and the foundations of the project were laid. 

César’s barebone songs describe with a touch of irony his vision of love, deceit and the generation that surrounds him. His lyrics were first translated into Italian and then adapted by Victoria, the daughter of a Sicilian immigrant. 

On stage and in the studio, the duo is accompanied by Clément Marion on bass (David Numwami, Judith Kiddo), Alex De Bueger on drums (Alaska Gold Rush, Gros Cœur) and Aurélien Gainetdinoff (San Malo, Yolande Bashing) on guitar.

The band released its first album, “Un amore debole”, at the end of November 2022 on 62TV records/PIAS and is currently finishing a new LP to be released Q1 2025.
