ElArturo is the lovable eccentric of regional music, and his trippy new album 'Raro' feels like traditional sounds explored through a funhouse mirror:
23-year-old Mexican artist who’s naturally a little spacey and eccentric, and he spent a lot of 2022 feeling out of his element. He’d released his, the previous year, and he watched with awe as the world quickly opened up before him. Suddenly, he was exploring completely new places, meeting unexpected fans, and experiencing a full-on music career. It was almost like entering a different dimension — one that he hadn’t totally anticipated.
“I was discovering the world, and everything felt weird, and it felt new,” he says in a drawl from Durango, where he’s from. “I hadn’t gone to as many cities as big. I’d never known as many people. Everything was so strange and there was so much of it… At some point, I said, ‘I’m going to take all of this and make an album called debuted recently, a surprising collection of far-out, dazed songs that feel like looking at traditional Mexican music through a funhouse mirror.
“I had a lot of feelings of judging myself because I knew I was going against the current with this in terms of both the music and lyrics,” he says. “But I planted a flag and said, ‘This is who I am.’” The project’s quirky approach makes sense coming from ElArturo, whose career has had a lot of unexpected twists and turns. He played guitar in a sierreño group when he was in high school but left when he started college. Eventually, after going back home briefly, he ended up moving to Guadalajara, where he fell deeper into songwriting during a breakup.
