Parra for Cuva's sonic identity can be encapsulated in a single word: Wanderlust. Renowned for a distinct sense of worldliness, his music, combined with stunning visuals, creates a magical realm where the resonance of Caribbean steel drums may intertwine with ancient Zimbabwean instruments and transports the listener to distant lands. With chart-topping singles and two acclaimed albums, Majouré and Darwîś, Parra for Cuva's breakthrough came with the release of Paspatou. Unafraid to blend dance floor experimentations with acoustic and ethnic soundscapes, his fourth studio album, Juno, involved collaborations with musicians from around the world. Parra for Cuva has graced prestigious festivals and soldout stages globally, including Burning Man and Sziget. He also delivered captivating live sessions, such as the Cercle Music performance set against the stunning backdrop of the Mexican landscape. Anticipated in 2024, his upcoming album, Mimose, promises another captivating sonic journey.
