Venezuelan artist Arca and Dominican artist Tokischa have officially unveiled their new collaborative single, "Chama." The track is a bold invitation to the dancefloor, skillfully merging aspirations with hypnotic beats that promise an immersive experience for listeners.
"Chama" features trance-like transitions, icy reggaeton breaks, and intricate layered vocal textures, forging a borderless anthem that resonates particularly with individuals who feel marginalized or disenfranchised.
Explaining the intent behind the track, Arca expressed, "This one's for all the dolls, the queens, and the good little witches. If I shine, it's for us. Courage to all my butterflies in defending softness, tenderness, magic, and sweetness in a world full of hardness. Shine without fear, chamas."
Anticipation for this vibrant release has been building since last November when images of Arca and Tokischa at Electric Lady Studios began circulating widely on social media. Since then, the artists have made several public appearances, including a notable performance at the LadyLand Festival in New York City. Throughout May, Tokischa has been incorporating "Chama" into her U.S. performances, while Arca premiered the track during her Boiler Room set in Barcelona.
Arca has carved out a significant space within Latin American music through her thought-provoking work that examines themes of art and identity. Her acclaimed "KICK" series has established her as a prominent figure in the music landscape. The release of "Chama" is further showcased in a colorful music video filmed in Barcelona, directed by Stillz, which captures both artists' distinctive aesthetics superbly.
