Juana Aguirre

Juana Aguirre crafts her music at the intersection of acoustic and electronic, but not as a simple contrast: her songs breathe at the point where organic sounds intertwine with textures that seem to float. It’s not just a blend of instruments, but a constant search for how these elements can coexist without losing their essence. When her voice appears, it doesn’t compete with the arrangements; instead, it integrates like another color in a palette that oscillates between the intimate and the expansive.

Before going solo, she spent a decade in Churupaca, where the band’s sound already hinted at that experimental inclination. But it was after parting ways that Aguirre found her own path: in 2021, with Claroscuro, she released her first solo album. She recorded it in Patagonia, far from conventional studios, using whatever was at hand and letting the process be as intuitive as it was deliberate. The result was an album where each song sounds like a fragment of something larger, as if assembling a puzzle with pieces that don’t quite fit but, together, form a recognizable landscape.
