Editor's note

Youn, a Brazilian band from Paranaguá

Led by Paloma Katzer, they blend pop, rock, and folk with lyrics that sometimes ruffle feathers.

For a sense of their sound, try "Situações" or "Só Love." They don't fit one style neatly, and that's part of the point.

Youn's music has a steady, unflashy persistence. Songs like "Situações" from their 2006 debut caught on, and they've kept releasing albums like "Fluorescente" in 2022 without much lineup drama. Their name means "love" in Korean, which fits Katzer's writing, even when it tackles social issues that draw criticism.

They started in Paranaguá in the early 2000s, with "Situações" coming out in 2006. Later albums like "Guia Astral" and "Alvorada" followed, and they're still at it with "Fluorescente." The core, Katzer, Farias, Malheiros, Sá, has mostly stayed the same.

Archive material and source history

Youn formed in Paranaguá, Brazil in the early 2000s, led by vocalist and songwriter Paloma Katzer. The band's name comes from the Korean word for "love." Their debut album "Situações" came out in 2006 and did well, with the title track becoming popular. They followed it with albums like "Guia Astral" in 2010 and "Alvorada" in 2016, and put out "Fluorescente" in 2022.

Katzer writes most of their material, with Estevão Farias on guitar, Marcelina Malheiros on bass, and Amanda Sá on drums. Their songs include "Só Love," "Follow Me," and "Difícil Explicar." As a mostly female band, they've faced some skepticism in the industry, and Katzer's lyrics about social issues have drawn criticism at times.

They work in pop and rock with Brazilian folk touches, but don't fit neatly into one style. The music has kept going without much lineup change, and they're still putting out records.
