If heartbreak had a boarding pass and self-discovery came with a customs stamp, then Mauricio Rosadio’s LANGARA would be the soundtrack playing in the background of every emotionally charged airport departure lounge. Hailing from Lima, Peru, and now weaving his musical magic from Vancouver, Canada, Rosadio brings us an EP that doesn’t just tug at heartstrings—it plays them like a well-worn guitar.
Named after the district where Rosadio wrestled with love, loss, and a tiny room’s four walls, LANGARA is more than just an EP—it’s a diary set to music. With five tracks detailing the evolution of heartbreak, the project captures the emotional turbulence of fleeting love, betrayal, and self-reconciliation. Think of it as a coming-of-age novel, but instead of turning pages, you’re hitting repeat.
The lead single, Perpetuos, kicks off the journey with a deep dive into emotional dependence. The track’s melancholic yet ethereal production mirrors that suffocating feeling of loving someone who keeps slipping through your fingers. Meanwhile, Van Gogh swirls like an impressionist painting—colorful, vivid, and heartbreakingly abstract. And then there’s Podrás Llamar? the existential late-night text we’ve all debated sending but somehow knew we shouldn’t.
Recorded in just 21 days at Consola Rec Studios in Lima, LANGARA is a testament to catharsis through creativity. Rosadio himself describes the album as a “weight lifted off my shoulders,” and that weight is tangible in the music. Each song represents a different stage of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally, acceptance. But don’t expect the usual sobfest; there’s an underlying resilience in his sound, a quiet determination to rise from the ashes.
Whether you’re an immigrant searching for belonging, someone nursing a shattered heart, or just a sucker for poetic lyricism and cinematic soundscapes, LANGARA has something for you. Rosadio’s music reminds us that heartbreak is universal, but so is healing.
