- Esmeralda Escalante
Ainda is formed by Yago Escrivá and Esmeralda Escalante, both of whom live in Buenos Aires, Argentina and met at a young age to give life to their current musical project. Previously their project was known as Ainda Dúo.
After an audiovisual director discovered the talent of both artists in 2012 and they recorded a version of the guarania "Recuerdos de Ypacarai" (an original song by Javier Solís), their music began to be recognised by more people, so they began to release their first recordings.
Their official debut was in 2013 when Ainda released Uno, with their own production and creation by Yago and Esmeralda. They later released Segundo in 2015 with a composition by 13 musicians in total, including guests such as Maya Belsitzman, Matan Ephrat from Israel, Pedro Rossi, Lucio Mantel, among others.
On the other hand, their album, Animal from 2018, with collaborations by Iñaki Colombo from Bandalos Chinos and El Zar, their music painted with a more pop character, definitely positioned them as one of the revelations of the independent scene: the album was nominated for the Gardel Awards in the category Best Alternative Pop Album.
This year the duo did not stop and continued making music, showing us a new face and creative maturity. Millones is their most recent album and it is on this album that we can see for the first time the change of their name to just Ainda. The production was in charge of Adan Jodorowsky, and it portrays the closing of an era through a mostly homogeneous and serene music.
