Welcome to Onda: the site of the authorial scene of Florianópolis and region
Florianópolis has a scene. Has had one for decades. Has one now, stronger than ever. And there's a lack of music journalism to match.
Onda is born to cover that. The island's independent music. All of it. From indie pop to death metal. From stoner to garage punk. From bands playing small bars to those filling bigger rooms on any given Saturday.
What we cover
- Reviews. Records, EPs and singles by Catarinense bands. No press release reheating, sharp ears.
- News. Who released, who signed, who's in the studio.
- Interviews. Direct with the band, no middleman.
- Calendar. Every show on the island, updated every Wednesday.
- Releases of the Week. Every Friday, what dropped.
- Guides. Where to play, where to record, where to listen.
Why we exist
The Floripa scene is big, alive, and almost always invisible to traditional media. Bands reaching national festivals. Filling bars with authorial sound. Keeping underground traditions alive. Coming up in new rehearsals every week. And most of the national press ignores it.
We don't ignore it.
