Editor's note

Illy's Afro-Brazilian pop from Salvador's streets

A Bahian band mixing samba and axé rhythms with melodic, upbeat tracks since 2006.

For a quick sense of Illy, try 'Quente e Colorido' or 'Só Eu e Você Na Pista', both are upbeat tracks that capture their Bahian pop vibe.

Illy's sound is rooted in the Afro-Brazilian rhythms of Salvador, Bahia, giving their pop a distinct local flavor. Songs like 'Quente e Colorido' with Marina Sena show their knack for catchy, colorful melodies. Their lyrics often touch on love and social themes from the region, keeping their music grounded in its origins.

Illy formed in Salvador in 2006, playing local bars and festivals in the Pelourinho neighborhood. They released their debut album 'Voo Livre' in 2010, followed by others like 'Mormação' in 2013 and 'Dois' in 2016. They've kept releasing music, including 'Ousadia & Alegria' in 2019, and have collaborated with artists from Tom Zé to Duda Beat.
