Francia releases ‘negrito’ EP exploring Afrolatinidad

Venezuelan singer-songwriter Francia has released a new EP titled ‘negrito’, a project centered on Afrolatinidad. The work blends Afro-Caribbean rhythms, Latin pop, and soul to explore themes of Black identity, spirituality, and ancestry.

Francia describes the EP as a way to honor aspects of his identity that society previously encouraged him to hide. The project includes a cinematic music video filmed in Italy for the title track, which serves as an emotional anchor for the collection.
