Valencia Duo's Organic Rise to Latin Music Stardom
29 Jan
Summary
- Alleh and Yorghaki met organically in Valencia, Venezuela, forming a musical partnership.
- Their song 'Capaz' was developed from a stored idea into a hit merenguetón.
- The duo earned a 2025 Latin Grammy nomination for Best New Artist and Best Urban Performance.
Alleh and Yorghaki's musical journey began organically in Valencia, Venezuela, stemming from a chance street encounter. This meeting quickly evolved into a creative partnership, with their first musical collaboration happening just 12 hours after they met.
Their musical foundations differ, with Yorghaki inspired by pop and Arabic music, learning production from a friend, while Alleh discovered a talent for rapping from a young age, developing it further during the pandemic.
A pivotal moment came with their song 'Capaz,' initially stored away, which producer Manuel Lara transformed into a merenguetón. This track, co-written by Alleh, Yorghaki, and Lara, became a significant hit.
