Embaci

Saturday, December 14th at 8pm, ISSUE Project Room is thrilled to close the 2024 Season with long overdue live performances by multidisciplinary artist and musician–belonging to the Pakajaqi nation of Aymara people–Chuquimamani-Condori, and Brooklyn-based vocalist and producer Embaci. The year-end event at the First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn marks both artists’ return to ISSUE after postponement of events during the COVID-19 pandemic and each artist’s digital commissions during 2021. 

Sharing an extensive collaborative history with Elysia Crampton Chuquimia, vocalist Embaci will open the evening. In 2021, the mesmerizing singer co-created the experimental video performance “Seasons In A Quasar” for ISSUE with frequent collaborator and composer Dasychira, who also released “Undead” earlier this year with both artists. Embaci produced the fourth limited-edition cassette in ISSUE’s series of ‘Distributed Objects’ exclusively for their members. The tape features remixes by Nidia Minaj, and Ashanti, acapellas by Missy Elliot, and features from Air Max '97, E+E, and more. Embaci’s “NO ISSUES” 004 mixtape will be available for purchase, and free for new ISSUE Members at the concert until supplies last. Sex Magazine writes: “The artist Embaci’s highly anticipated, premiere solo track ‘Tiniest Whisper’ is six years in the making. Over that time, the musician has released lush mixes and arresting live sets…we’ve been able to witness the culmination of someone discovering herself at her own pace, a documentation of a blooming sonic vision that balances aesthetic sensitivity and vulnerability with grace and power.”

Celebrated for her ethereal voice and poetic lyricism, she has garnered international acclaim as both an artist and a multidisciplinary virtuoso.
