Dat Garcia

A voice emerges, materializing, curing. Analog feelings, ancestral glitch.

Along the sun’s cosmic belt, the renewal of Argentine folktronics takes another twist: the movement - regional, continental and global - has emerged with a strong female presence in the Buenos Aires scene. Enter Dat García, one of the freshest and most captivating female artists out there right now.

Dat Garcia is an Argentinian singer, producer, composer, activist and performer. García's music and activism focus on female empowerment and the vindication of monstrosity and non-hegemonic beauty. She has performed in music festivals such as Rock al Parque (Colombia), Amsterdam Dance Event, WOMEX Finland, FIMPRO Guadalajara and many others.

Dat is one of the most influential female producers of Latin American electronic music scene (Clarin/La Nación), and one of the spokeswomen and storytellers of the new women’s movement that questions traditional values and emphasizes body consciousness to construct a new more equal society.

She defines artists as the historians and witchdoctors of our time, which is why she tries to make visible the Latin American reality of women and marginalized minorities by using cutting edge aesthetic, scenic and musical resources.

Dat is part of this new generation of musicians who explore their roots, manifesting in new ideas, with new technologies. If until now the digital folklore club was almost exclusively for men, Dat Garcia enters to change the paradigm and make the voices of women heard, telling strong and deep stories that welcome us to his world of sounds and folkfuturistic aesthetics. She explores intoxicating downtempo beats, accompanied by a strong aesthetic content, going from costumes to visual and artistic interventions of all kinds, making her show an artistic installation

Recently on tour in Brazil and Colombia, where she stood out in Rock al Parque, Garcia’s been touring around the world with her show, conferences and workshops, conquering new audiences from all over the world.
