Producer and musician chiquitamagic, born Isis Paola Giraldo, crafts experimental electronic music guided by movement, emotion, and a playful sense of identity. Working with drum machines and synthesizers, she blurs the contours between dancefloor energy and exploratory composition, weaving together threads of drone, drum and bass, jazz, and jungle.
Her musical language takes form through lived experiences, notably her years spent singing in choir rooms as a child. Intricate harmonies and stacked vocal layers unfold throughout her works, each piece becoming an invitation to move, to feel, and to embody curiosity and openness.
Her latest album, the self-produced Matriarch, traces the transformative and monumental arc through pregnancy and birth. Drifting through ambient-adjacent realms where vulnerability and strength coexist, the album reflects on creation in a deeply intimate form.
