Lapreta

**Lapreta** is a Guatemalan-born, New York-based electronic producer and DJ who stitches together lush, genre-defying soundscapes rooted in their Central American heritage. Known for blending downtempo beats, glitchy textures, and Latin American folk samples, their work—like the introspective *Songs From GuateYork* and the hypnotic *Desconocida*—feels like a sonic bridge between bustling NYC streets and Guatemala’s vibrant landscapes. Releases such as *Beats That Were Buried Deep* and *Gemas* showcase their knack for unearthing raw, organic rhythms and repurposing them into experimental yet accessible electronic journeys. While keeping a relatively low profile, Lapreta’s music quietly champions diasporic identity and the art of weaving cultural memory into forward-thinking beats.
