Blending the raw soul of gospel with the hypnotic pulse of deep house, El Pricha (the stage name of singer and producer Juano Maldonado) has built a truly unique identity in the South American electronic scene. From his roots in funk and soul to his captivating live sets, he has mastered the art of delivering a powerful message through music, acting as a modern sonic “preacher.”
For El Pricha, electronic music isn’t just about the beat—it’s about vocal performance, organic connection, and bringing a deeply human groove to the dancefloor.
Dynamic Control: Playing with Constellation
Filmed against the breathtaking backdrop of the Córdoba mountains, El Pricha’s live session showcases the true potential of Constellation by MJP Audio Designs—the world’s first motion-controlled audio pedal system. By pairing wearable Satellite wristbands with the Ground Central pedal hub, he completely breaks away from the static constraints of a traditional DJ or producer setup.
Instead of being stuck behind a screen or mixer, El Pricha uses natural body movements and physical gestures to sculpt his sound in real-time. With a simple wave of his arm, he manipulates live vocal delays, alters effects parameters, and shapes the texture of his tracks completely hands-free on the fly. The result is a highly theatrical and expressive live performance where cutting-edge technology acts as a fluid extension of his body, allowing him to command both his sound and the stage seamlessly.
