Meli Perea presents “Temas, terapias y visajes”

From this creative and constantly evolving universe emerges the new album “Temas, terapias y visajes”, which proposes a simple yet powerful idea: to take the “visajes” —the entanglements of everyday life— and turn them into “temas”. In this 12-piece album, the song is used as a tool; Meli composes as a form of therapy and shares that process with simplicity and authenticity.
Meli articulates an emotional and bodily journey across 12 songs that move from dilemma to song and from song to body; each piece is anchored to an experience (meeting, saying goodbye, moving through, longing, accepting…) and to a musical gesture that sustains it. The result is an album with identity —close, sincere, and meaningful.

Musically speaking, “Temas, terapias y visajes” is a diverse record born from collective exploration. With Ancestral Beats in production, spaces were opened for ideas to converge and take shape in an honest and heartfelt album, divergent in pathways yet coherent in purpose.

Soundscapes of dembow, cumbia, funk carioca, mapalé, bambazú, konpa dirék and juga coexist with electronic bass lines and synthesizers within a carefully crafted sonic design. Guitars and a horn section embrace the mix, while tambor alegre, tambora, marimba, harp and gaita add character. This amalgam prepares the ground for the voice to remain at the forefront, with a clean and dynamic mix that prioritizes the message.

In an album of this scope, the project brings together collaborations with Pahua (Mexico), Pio Molina (Colombia / Barcelona), Aku Percu (Colombia / New York) and Mangle (Colombia), incorporating different voices and contexts that expand the album’s identity.

Album songs:
The album’s journey unfolds through different pieces that reflect states, learnings and complementary perspectives. “Suavitell” proposes living the process without haste and trusting time, while “Metiendo candela” invites listeners to ignite spiritual connection without the need for dogma. “Vijagual” functions as a tribute to roots and to the language of the people, and “Suelta” suggests making space for what is essential. In “Entre los hilos”, the idea of learning to play with the forces that move us appears, while “Temas” leans toward less façade and more songs.

“Furia en las venas” introduces a visceral intensity within the narrative, and “Dins de la Font” opens the door to another reading of everyday life. “Adiós” approaches farewell by focusing on what was lived rather than on loss, while “Nómada” reflects on walking and belonging in transit. “Fragmento” speaks about accepting one’s own rhythm and that of things, and “Peque Peque” closes this emotional map by highlighting everyday effort and craft.

Live:
The album presentation will travel across different stages with confirmed and forthcoming dates: March 7 at “Sala Frenesí” (Vinaroz), March 13 at “Sala Villanos” (Madrid, to be confirmed), March 20 at “Sala 2 Jamboree” (Barcelona) and March 28 at “La Media Torta” within “Festival Latir” in Bogotá.
