Calgary Musician Arturo Marc Releases New LUZ EP
STREAM/SHARE TITLE TRACK HERE
Calgary musician Arturo Marc shares his debut EP LUZ out now on all digital streaming platforms. Listen here.
To mark the occasion, Arturo is also releasing the title track 'Luz' as the 2nd single. Produced by Juno Nominee Luis 'El Pana' Tovar, the song features Latin Grammy Award winner Jorge Glem on the Venezuelan Cuatro. A fusion of tambora and reggae, the song's vibes feel like a tropical love story.
"'Luz' is a confession that talks about love and connecting to the idea of a perfect universe that lives inside all of us,' says Arturo. "It's a song about the blend of self-love and romantic love that came to me on a meditation when I was clearly paying to much attention to my thoughts."
Arturo is a Venezuelan-Canadian composer and his debut EP is an homage to his Latin roots. LUZ features a unique blend of traditional Venezuelan rhythms like tambora and Venezuelan calypso, with reggae and ska, filled with Spanish lyrics that emphasize a recurring theme on Light (Luz in Spanish) as a metaphor for love, friendship, resiliency and beauty.
LUZ was produced by Juno nominee Luis 'El Pana' Tovar and recorded at the iconic Calgary Studio Bell. The EP features Latin Grammy Award winners in the Venezuelan Cuatro, Hector Molina and Jorge Glem, and Latin Grammy Award winning audio engineer Jean Sanchez for singles 'Luz' and ‘Nuestro Universo'.
Born in Caracas, Arturo moved to Alberta in his teenage years and quickly became part of the Venezuelan community and Latin music scene in Calgary. After years of being the front lead of UnoBand reggae group and performing with ensembles dedicated to Latin cultural diffusion, Arturo finished his music degree at the University of Lethbridge and launched his solo career in 2023 with the announcement of the release of his debut EP LUZ.
LUZ is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit arturomarc.com.
