Prada

Arca's song 'Prada' is a vibrant celebration of individuality, self-expression, and the joy of living authentically. The lyrics paint a picture of a lively party where everyone is encouraged to be themselves, no matter how unconventional or 'rara' (strange) they might seem. The repeated mention of 'tacones Prada' (Prada heels) symbolizes high fashion and the freedom to express one's identity through style. This imagery is a nod to the LGBTQ+ community, particularly the drag and ballroom scenes, where fashion and performance are powerful forms of self-expression and resistance.

The song's chorus emphasizes the uniqueness of the individuals at the party, celebrating their 'rara' nature. Arca, known for her avant-garde approach to music and her own non-binary identity, uses this track to create a space where being different is not just accepted but celebrated. The lyrics 'Rompe si tú quieres gozadera y de la buena' (Break it if you want fun and the good kind) invite listeners to let loose and enjoy the moment, reinforcing the theme of liberation and joy.

The references to 'transformistas' (transformers) and 'bujarras' (a colloquial term for effeminate men) further highlight the song's embrace of gender fluidity and non-conformity. Arca's call to see these individuals 'boten chispas' (throw sparks) and shine on the dance floor is a powerful message of empowerment. The song is not just about a party; it's about creating a world where everyone can be their true selves without fear of judgment. Through 'Prada,' Arca invites us to celebrate our differences and find joy in our unique identities.
