Alejandra Ghersi Rodríguez: Moniker 2.0

Alejandra Ghersi Rodríguez is a Venezuelan musician and record producer, but works professionally under the name Arca today.

Very little material is published on Nuuro, but The Fader published an interview between Arca and writer Emilie Friedlander in 2014 which (notably) was prior to her gender transition and right as she began to produce for high profile artists, which I’ll have more on later! Friedlander’s article, “Cover Story: Arca Finds Xen” focuses more on Rodríguez’s upbringing and the influences that contributed to creating music. Rodriguez was born in Caracas, Venezuela before immigrating to the United States as a toddler. Her father Henrique Ghersi Rossón, is an investment banker and founder of VIP Capital (Venezuelan Investment Partners Capital), a Venezuelan banking firm founded in 2001. It was right before the investment bank was established that the Rodriguez family moved back to Venezuela and stayed there, and it was in Venezuela that Alejandra Ghersi Rodríguez released music as Nuuro. However, she studied music in the United States and has lived in New York, London, and Spain since then.

The moniker of Arca was born in the United States, after Rodríguez came out as gay, and the description of her thoughts in this interview with Friedlander is very telling of the development of her music style, “‘In fact, [s]he says the bizarre, combative voices that populated [her] early work under that moniker were literal sonic echoes of what was going on in [her] head in the aftermath.’” Arca is known today for her unique production style, one which combines seemingly random noises and sounds (like that of a lawnmower, as mentioned by Friedlander), with heavy distortions, traditional Venezuelan instruments, and the general pacing of a reggaeton song. These are niche combinations that typically take quite a few listens to become accustomed to (or at least that's what it took for me), but when you get it…you really get it.

Arca’s music may possibly be better understood as a cacophony (in reference to the words definition of an atypical combination of sounds and not its negative connotation) rather than a blend. She doesn’t blend the sounds she uses, not because she can’t, but because she doesn’t want to. Each sound is sort’ve representative of a different thought, a different emotion, all of which she preserves in the ultimate musical product.

WHY DID YOU MAKE A CAST LIST

[phvrvohxo]

from 2010 when i first decided to do photography i had the impossible dream of shooting for @gq, i collected that magazine and always looked at the images inside them hoping on day that i’d be commissioned by them, i still have this dream especially since i was eventually published in @thefader so that proves that anything is possible

Big K.R.I.T. - So Cool (Official Music Video)

“The Mississippi rapper announced he’d finished a new album”... read the story via Fader below:

https://www.thefader.com/2022/01/21/big-krit-returns-in-style-with-so-cool

By RAPHAEL HELFANDJanuary 21, 2022

Big K.R.I.T. has an album on the way. Since departing from Def Jam in 2016, he's released only two full-length projects: 2017's 4eva is a Mighty Long Time and 2019's K.R.I.T. Iz Here. But the long-independent Mississippi rapper shared news of a new project in a Tuesday Instagram post with the cryptic hashtag #DRDD, a possible reference to the new record's title.

"So Cool" is a new single that appears to be a sample of the forthcoming LP. In classic K.R.I.T. form, he sing-raps soulfully over a funky beat replete with pocket drumming a mellow synth, and tasteful horns.

The track is under two minutes long, but it comes with a four-minute music video set in a newsroom, where K.R.I.T., Trinidad James, and fellow MS native Akeem Ali engage in one-upmanship in a fight for the anchor seat after Atlanta radio DJ Wally Sparks tells them its theirs for the taking, as long as they "stay cool."
