A.Chal

A.Chal is a Peruvian-American singer, songwriter and producer whose London concert at Colours Hoxton brings rap and hip-hop-rooted music to a venue that mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts.

A.Chal is the musical project of a singer, songwriter and producer born in Lima in 1989, who grew up between Queens, New York, and Massachusetts. Active since 2011, the artist released the debut album Welcome to GAZI with Epic Records. The sound draws on alternative R&B, trap and atmospheric hip-hop, with a psychedelic streak that keeps it apart from mainstream templates.

In recent years the project has turned towards Peru, with a renewed link to Peruvian identity, spirituality and the popular sounds of the artist's origins. Its universe mixes street life, migration, desire, roots and mysticism. A Spanish-language music magazine has described the work as shaped by cumbia and chicha.

Colours Hoxton is a London venue that mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music. The night suits listeners interested in hip-hop and Latin American roots sounds performed in that setting.
