SECO Marks a Return to Ricardo Arjona’s Roots

Renowned Guatemalan singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona is back, captivating his fans with unreleased music. Starting today, fans can enjoy the first three singles from his upcoming album, SECO: "Despacio que hay prisa", "Todo termina", and "Nirvana". This project, described by Arjona as a deeply personal and honest exploration, steps away from conventional boundaries and offers a fresh musical perspective.

A First Look at SECO

Each track from the album reflects a unique aspect of Arjona’s emotional narrative:

  • "Despacio que hay prisa"
    This upbeat reggae encourages finding beauty in solitude and savoring life’s moments at a slower pace. The vibrant official video enhances the track’s festive and colorful atmosphere.
  • "Todo termina"
    Written during a hospital recovery, this nearly seven-minute piece is an introspective letter dedicated to Arjona’s children. Its non-repetitive structure underscores the theme of impermanence.
  • "Nirvana"
    With lyrics like “Deja en paz a la razón” (Leave reason alone), this introspective song explores themes of inner search, challenging beliefs, and embracing vulnerability and mystery.

A Video That Celebrates Freedom

Alongside the release of the three singles, Arjona premiered a music video for "Despacio que hay prisa". Directed by Marlon Villar, the video is a vibrant celebration of freedom, diversity, and joy, featuring dynamic choreography and bold visuals. Art direction by Macarena Sharpe and costumes designed by Mariana Ramírez bring to life a colorful and authentic aesthetic. With Ricardo Torres leading production, the video captures the spirit of the album: an invitation to embrace the present moment with intensity and without haste.
