Maria Becerra's 'Quimera': Birth from Pain to Art
20 Nov
Summary
- Becerra's new album 'Quimera' was inspired by a severe health crisis.
- The album features four distinct alter egos representing emotional stages.
- Becerra explored tropical genres like salsa and cumbia in her new work.
Argentine artist Maria Becerra has unveiled her highly anticipated third studio album, 'Quimera,' a project born from a period of intense personal struggle. The album's conceptualization began in April following an emergency surgery for a second ectopic pregnancy, which resulted in severe internal bleeding and a prolonged recovery. This near-fatal experience became the profound inspiration for the 17-track record, released under Warner Music Latina.
'Quimera' delves into the "rollercoaster of emotions" Becerra endured, drawing inspiration from the mythical creature of the same name. This concept is further explored through four distinct alter egos: Shanina, Gladys, Jojo, and Maite. Each alter ego embodies a specific personality and emotional state experienced during her hospitalization and recuperation, serving as a shield and a means of channeling her pain and eventual empowerment.
