Parra for Cuva — Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica, 2026
Why this recording
Premiered on the artist's own channel on 19 May 2026, the video comes with the release of Nacar and lays out a chaptered running order of thirteen tracks. The title track arrives fourth, at 17:21, and several collaborations mark the set: orbit, Nathan Ball on “Cold Heart”, Palladian, Vraell, then CILE on “Hang Glow”, which closes the performance. Two Parra for Cuva remixes sit in between: ODESZA and Ólafur Arnalds' “Light of Day”, and Henry Green's “Outside”.
Simon Janvier, live-sound professional and editor of the catalogue
Live set film by Parra for Cuva — the German producer Nicolas Demuth — captured at the foot of the Arenal volcano in Costa Rica and released in May 2026 alongside his album Nacar. This seventy-minute liveset belongs to the tradition of electronic performances staged in natural settings: shot by drone across a volcanic, tropical landscape, it binds the music to the image of a spectacular location. A key name in deep and melodic house, Parra for Cuva unfolds an organic, melodic and atmospheric electronic sound, weaving pads, piano and textures into muted grooves. The polished production — aerial cinematography by Sergio Guzman, camera work by Esteban Cespedes, edit and grading by Sascha Mayer — makes the setting a full partner in the performance. This live film extends the world of Nacar, the fruit of two years of work, and shows how contemporary electronic music converses with landscape. Parra for Cuva, Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica, 2026, a full concert live to watch in its entirety.
