La paradoja

The paradox sounds like a loop that stretches slowly but surely. The song progresses with a melody that seems to repeat itself, yet each turn brings a new nuance, as if the same musical phrase unfolds into overlapping layers with calm. It’s not a track that hits you immediately; instead, it settles into the listening experience through the hypnotic repetition of its chords and the interplay between vocals and instruments. The result is a piece that invites you to get lost in its own structure, where simplicity becomes complex without ever losing its fluidity.Juana Molina recorded this track in her home studio in General Pacheco, in the Greater Buenos Aires, between 2020 and 2025.

The song is part of Doga, her eighth studio album, released on November 5, 2025, under the independent label Sonamos —a record company she co-founded in 2021. The album marks her return to original composition after eight years, as well as her first collaboration with a producer since Rara, her 1996 debut. The foundations of these songs were laid years earlier, in 2019, during a series of improvised concerts with keyboardist Odín Schwartz, where they recorded over sixty hours of sessions with analog synthesizers and sequencers. The paradox lasts five minutes and fifty-one seconds, enough time for the initial repetition to transform into something more.
