"Two years in the making 25-year-old Angelica Garcia's album Cha Cha Palace is the result of an artist's need to SAY SOMETHING. The second song on the record ""Jícama"" might only be a minute and 25 seconds in its entirety but the message spans generations and is one that resonates deeply for Garcia with her Mexican and Salvadoran roots. Singing/shouting ""I see you but you don't see me Jímaca Jímaca Guava Tree_I've been trying to tell ya but you just don't see like you I was born in this country"" Garcia tells the reality for millions of Americans unapologetically and with passion.That feeling of being between places is something Garcia knows well having been raised between multigenerational multicultural homes with step-parents and half-siblings. Additionally she made the journey from the West Coast to the East Coast and back again multiple times before finally settling down in Richmond Virginia.She fondly recalls Mexican ranchera music always playing throughout her childhood. Ranchera was ingrained within the maternal side of her family with her Mother Grandmother Uncle & Aunt constantly singing the traditional music throughout the home of her Grandparents.Like Mitski Lorde Billie Eilish and Rosalía Garcia isn't afraid to tear pages out of her diary and express emotions that might be difficult and oftentimes daunting to share given today's social and political environment. Like her peers she joins a new chapter of musicians who are connecting with their audiences on a level that lives outside the reaches of technology trends and social media the daily experience of feeling torn between saying something and doing something for being a voice and speaking with your voice of being Latina while being American. And it's humanity and honesty that audiences are looking for and will find in spades throughout each note of Cha Cha Palace."
