Aracan Shadows Of Perception

Aracan is a duo comprised of producer Carlos Arango and clarinetist Sebastian Cañas, both Colombian born and based in Sydney, Australia. Their debut album, Shadows of Perception, is a guiding compass through the spirit and heartbeat of Ibero-American folklore, guided by a resolute electronic essence from the roots of electro that fearlessly transcends conventional boundaries. Shadows of Perception seamlessly weaves together Argentinian zamba guitars, Colombian folkloric rhythms, and various other genres with electronic influences, creating an unrestricted artistic expression. The electro-acoustic canvas is adorned with vibrant clarinets, latin percussion, Venezuelan harp, Andean flutes, and various elements from the Ibero-American heritage, creating an evocative portrait of cultural identity thriving within the realms of the electronic music scene. Shadows of Perception carries dubby, psychedelic and sensual allure, veiled in a subtle melancholic undertone. Every emotion feels hazy yet euphoric, every sound intimately personal, and every movement imbued with political undertones. With the seasoned finesse of a veteran ensemble, Aracan masterfully challenges the conventions of traditional Electronic music, offering a soft-focused counter-narrative that captivates effortlessly. It serves as a guiding compass through the spirit and heartbeat of Ibero- American folklore, underscored by a defiant spirit. It highlights how we carry the rhythms and traditions into a night brimming with endless possibilities. With a sense of profound resilience, this album becomes a roadmap leading us towards the uncharted territories of our collective heritage
