Meli Perea presents “Me Llama la Tierra”

Meli Perea is the stage name of Melissa Carballido Perea, a singer and songwriter from Colombia. Her journey in music began in the streets and squares of Bogotá, where she ventured into freestyle alongside her neighborhood friends. As the only woman in this scene, she learned and developed a distinctive style that remains evident in her music today.

Following her single “Lodo” and debut album “Prisma,” the Colombian artist now releases “Me Llama La Tierra” (“The Earth Calls Me”). This new release invites listeners to reconnect with their roots, nature, and the rural essence within us, acknowledging that a physical return to our most natural selves is often a complex journey.

This new single sheds light on the harsh reality faced by many people who, due to violence, have been forced to leave their homelands. It reinforces the idea that the energy of a place can remain within individuals, even when they are far from home.

“Me Llama La Tierra” blends unique musical influences, making it an innovative proposal. Anchored in afrotech—a techno subgenre that incorporates African and electronic rhythms—the song offers a dynamic and immersive sound.

The guitar stands out with its Caribbean-African phrasing, adding warmth and a connection to the roots. The balance between synthetic and organic elements gives the track a distinctive character, defying easy categorization within commercial genres.

The vocal performance is melodic and prominent, standing out from the typical structures of afrotech, which often feature short phrases or vocal textures. In “Me Llama La Tierra”, the voice takes center stage, transforming the song into a unique emotional experience that bridges tradition and modernity.

“Me Llama La Tierra” is available on all platforms.
