Up next in our Carabuena Sounds playlist series: “Love on Yourself,” a Valentine’s Day playlist by Angélica Rahe. Stream it now on Spotify HERE.
Angélica is a Spanish-American multidisciplinary artist creating both music and visual pieces that reflect her journey of femininity, sensuality, and self-love.
After touring the world with Kali Úchis as her musical director, background vocalist, and guitarist while opening for Lana Del Rey in 2018, Angélica began establishing herself as a solo artist. In 2020, she delivered REINA, a debut album called "intoxicatingly smooth" (Austin Monthly) and one that "challenges what you think you know about Spanish music" (Dallas Morning News). When the album’s tour was canceled due to the global pandemic, Rahe used the time to explore visual art. From line drawings and charcoals to oil and watercolor paintings, she began to weave an intersection between sonic and visual landscapes.
In 2022, Angélica re-emerged with Autorretrato, her follow-up album and musical self-portrait, in addition to Figuras, a series of figurative studies in celebration of the female form. Her latest single “Dale Nena,” which released last year on International Women’s Day, is a celebration of feminine strength and resilience, a key theme in her music and mission.
Her latest venture is Songraft.co, a songwriting collective and mentorship-focused workshop series, further highlighting her passion for empowering aspiring artists, songwriters, and producers/engineers, especially those that are female-identifying.
“It is important to me to not only collaborate with, build, and amplify voices of other female-identifying artists and creatives, but also to provide tools to aid in navigating an industry and career that is truly challenging and complex, especially for women and those who identify as such,” said Angélica.
