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.[5]

Marketing

On June 17, 2019, the teaser trailer for the series was released.[6] The first full trailer was released by Netflix on July 11, 2019.[7]

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.[8]

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.[9]

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.[10] The soundtrack album was released to music streaming services such as Spotify, on August 17, 2019.[11]

Season 1 songs

Reception

Joel Keller from Decider described Sintonia as a "fascinating look at life in São Paulo’s favelas, where people are creative and hopeful, despite difficult circumstances".[12]

gollark: No, I mean, you should make your program call that if a key is hit.
gollark: You should make it forceUpdate if you hit a key or something.
gollark: Wow, that's very laggy.
gollark: Oh, microseconds of tick time.
gollark: What's a "micro-s/t"?
