FEATURED ALBUM: UNA

by 

Natalia Cappa

Released on New Focus Recordings 2024

https://nataliacappa.bandcamp.com/album/una

8 tracks, 58 minutes

UNA, Natalia Cappa’s first solo release is an expansive and thoroughly beautiful work that jumps out at you on almost every conceivable level. She is an artist of such exceptional talent, mind and heart that her wit and humanity pervade the album completely.  

Here, the deep and often tempestuous cultural wealth of Argentina forms the context for much of the album’s thematic content, providing the stimulus and the backdrop to the narrative. It is also full of love, in every fibre: the dedication of contributors to her; the writing and performing and her dedication to her partner, family and supporters. This is, again, exploration with feeling.

The ‘experimental’ use of voice, not through processing or technological manipulation but purely exploring human vocal scope, has been famously visited by some powerful female artists since at least the 1960s. Each has brought their own courage and curiosity to the challenge of achieving uniqueness, avoiding convention and producing vocal art. This album claims a place among these whilst establishing a profoundly Latin American identity. 

Hailing from the effervescent experimental music scene in Buenos Aires, and with a professional background in opera and musical theatre, Cappa commissioned 6 Argentine composers with the task of writing for the solo female voice. What has resulted spans a vast range of aesthetics and moods, woven together with inventive versatility and affection for the Spanish language. And range is what Cappa delivers in abundance; threaded through or soaring above abstruse sounds, she swoops, trills and beguiles, fairly crackling with energy and a mischievous unpredictability.

The voice as an instrument steps aside from the conventions of song and is free to be at once, abstract sound and human expression. It is not necessary to have read the literature or history of her beloved country to feel the passion Cappa has for it and since singing conveys so much more than words, even not understanding Spanish you can feel completely fulfilled listening. I can claim neither the literature nor the language (though I have made a start) so am perhaps apprehending this album like a child in a modern art gallery. 

There is certainly much here, especially the spoken elements, that I am very aware I’m missing of course. Words matter and this album most definitely had to be fully Spanish, by definition. I guess I’m just trying to make the point that, in the context of an album on grey clay radio and a universe of experimental, abstract sound,  anyone can listen and be immersed, intrigued, tickled and touched by this. 

The electronics and instrumentation are used subtly, mainly as a sparse nuance, but front and centre stage is always voice. Voice in its myriad forms and treatments. It feels very theatrical and extremely intimate in places, as if she is performing just for you. There is also fierceness, colour and sincerity in her delivery that really connects: more than once I felt the electricity race down my spine. 

And it is almost impossible not to imagine visuals: a film or sequence of animations in which the silence is a jet black backdrop with Cappa illuminated as she stalks the space, conjuring characters  and assembling images, pages, stories for us. 

For me, this is how to fully enjoy UNA. Eyes shut, headphones or not, 

following the pictures. 

Natalia Cappa is a professional singer, artist, writer and teacher and is also one half of Dúo TRoneitor.

EX! Magazine is an independent magazine for experimental music and visual art with an international focus. It highlights artists who work outside established structures, radical, exploratory, and genre-crossing, such as David Wallraf, Gudrun Gut, Richard Chartier, and PERIMETER O. EX! features voices and positions that are unique and eclectic in the global art and music scene.

Each issue, spanning approximately one hundred pages, comes with in-depth interviews, background articles, essays, and columns that illuminate artistic processes and deepen aesthetic discourse. Reports with a strong focal point on the experimental scene in Leipzig bridge the gap between the local scene and the international network. The editorial scope is complemented by reviews of current music releases and books, as well as literary contributions that broaden the magazine’s perspective. EX! Magazine is made by artists who come from the experimental art and music circle themselves.
