Angélica Garcia - "El Que," a 2023 single on Partisan Records
The title to today's Song of the Day roughly translates to English as "the fact that," and songwriter Angélica Garcia describes the lyrics as "a specific inner monologue that I have navigated most of my life."
The Brooklyn-based artist continues in a press statement, "Keeping myself and my body safe as a woman is such a careful dance that I often play out in my head, like a lion tamer facing a lion. The vocals were done in one take, and the performance required so much of my energy I couldn’t sing for two days afterwards. The chorus gets its power from all the backing voices coming in to support me from another realm, and it’s where I name the danger. When you’re exorcizing a demon, you have to call it by its name."
The track was produced by Chicano Batman’s Carlos Arévalo, and marks the first time Garcia has released a single in her native language.
