MPEACH
MPeach, aka Mariana Martín Capriles, is a Venezuelan multi-disciplinary artist living in Brooklyn, NY. As a vocalist/producer/DJ and audiovisual artist, she intertwines bass-heavy electronic sounds with rhythms rooted in traditional music. Having built a body of work that explores sounds of Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa — and the possibilities of these sounds in new electronic territories — MPeach lives in the liminal borderlands of honoring traditional folk sounds rooted in rich cultural histories and the future of Latin American sound. By engaging Venezuelan folkloric music as a tradition that remains alive and evolving, she challenges stagnant notions of authenticity by creating work responsive to the forces that shape its creators, listeners, and dancers, using electronic music as a vehicle for preserving tradition in the collective memory.
She has toured across the United States, Latin America, and Europe. MPeach has released music with Dutty Artz, Abstractor, NWLA, Interscope, Majia, On the Corner, and her imprint PEACHTOWN. Her music is in several official motion picture soundtracks, including “Skate Kitchen” by award-winning director Crystal Moselle. She recently performed alongside Arca, Cardopusher / Safety Trance, Dj Baba, Dj Yirvin, and Phran at the first-ever Boiler Room in Caracas, Venezuela.
