Sintonia is a Brazilian crime teen drama streaming television series created and directed by Kondzilla that premiered on Netflix on August 9, 2019.[1][2]

Narrated from the perspectives of the three characters Doni, Nando, and Rita who grew up together, the series follows the interconnectedness of music, drug trafficking and religion in a peripheral neighborhood of São Paulo.[3][4]

The series links the first order of the criminal organization Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC). The name of the faction is not mentioned, at least in the first season, but shows how it works in scenes, some criminals debating standing in a circle in an abandoned shed and showing that the criminals of the PCC will be called to avoid community conflicts.

Production[]

Conception and development[]

The producer company Losbragas, who had already produced the comedy series Samantha! for Netflix, learned of Kondzilla's idea of making a short film about three young teenagers from the favela who wanted to buy expensive sneakers. After negotiations, the idea of the short film turned to a project of a series and the characters gained different goals and a more complex storyline.[6]

Marketing[]

On June 17, 2019, the teaser trailer for the series was released.[7] The first full trailer was released by Netflix on July 11, 2019.[8]

The red carpet premiere of Sintonia took place on July 30, 2019, at the Cinemateca Brasileira in São Paulo, where the first two episodes were previewed.[9]

For the first time in an original production, Netflix released the first episode of Sintonia on YouTube as a promotion for the series. The episode became available from August 9, until August 11, 2019, at KondZilla's YouTube channel.[10]

Soundtrack[]

The music for the series was composed by Tropkillaz's electronic music duo of DJs Zegon and Lauds. The series also features original songs for the character MC Doni (performed by Jottapê) and produced by MC EZ.[11] The soundtrack album was released to music streaming services such as Spotify, on August 17, 2019.[12]
