Los Angeles’ experimental pop auteur ANGÉLICA GARCIA today releases a fresh Brooklyn-inspired video for the cumbia-steeped, avant-pop single “Juanita” out now on Partisan Records.
The track has its roots in 2020, as Angélica was sitting before an altar that she constructed in her bedroom, a culmination of her new inquiry into ancestral veneration: looking into the past to inform the present with familial knowledge. Watch the new “Juanita (Brooklyn Version)” video directed by filmmaker and musician Pepi Ginsberg and filmed in Brooklyn here:

The dual releases of “Juanita” are just the latest signifiers that Angélica is primed for an exciting 2024. This week she also announced two headline tour dates for Paris and Brussels this June ahead of her new live show debut supporting Estevie this Sunday, March 10th in San Antonio and a play at The Great Escape Festival in May. Angélica will then take this new live show configuration to SXSW in Austin, Texas next week where she’ll perform for Stereogum, School Night, KCRW, KUTX, KEXP and more.
