AQNO
A force of Amazonian pop.

Born in the interior of Pará, in the city of Marabá, AQNO is a singer and songwriter who brings with great authenticity the contemporary strength of pop produced in the Amazon.

With a seductive voice and magnetic appearance, the artist showcases an original style where tradition and futurism meet in a unique aesthetic.

Mixing brega pop and romantic songs with edgy lyrics, his debut album "O Retorno de Saturno" (2021) features catchy tracks like “Desaglomerô” and the lyrical “Tô em Outra” that recently received a vibrant remix by DJ WILL LOVE (from the group Gang do Eletro), featuring the vocals of emerging talent Zaynara, with a melody paraense beat made to rock the hottest dance floors.

Also worth checking out is his latest music video, “Sobrou pra você”.

AQNO is for those who are interested in Brazilian popular music made in the Amazon, with originality and modern vigor, capable of breaking the stigma/destiny of an “outdated” or “traditionalized” Amazon. It’s for those who love the dance floor and a whispered voice in a night of love.

Certainly, this artist from Pará is a blossoming flower in the Brazilian pop scene.
