Urias - CARRANCA (2025)
In CARRANCA, Urias unfolds a bold, introspective album that interweaves Brazilian cultural memory with cutting-edge production.
Her sound traverses rap, R&B, jazz and electronic textures while rooted in Afro-Brazilian spirituality and resistance.
She uses the metaphor of the “carranca” (a folkloric boat-figure meant to ward off evil) to confront themes of identity, freedom and historical erasure.
The production is daring and richly layered, moving well beyond her earlier pop sensibilities into a more experimental, politically charged space.
Ultimately, CARRANCA marks a mature evolution for Urias — a powerful statement of self-definition, ancestral connection and musical exploration.
