$Marion Raw [MEX\/Arts&Crafts] \u00b7 Trafo \u00b7 Jena$

Born in Mexico City and raised across Mexico, the US, and the UK, Raw’s music reflects her nomadic identity and multidisciplinary background. After a brief career as a visual artist, she began to infuse her artistic language into music. She embraced a stripped-down, analog aesthetic, often recording on a Tascam 4-track cassette, letting tape hiss and imperfections become part of the atmosphere. Even as her recordings have evolved, those textures continue to shape her work.
Raw first stepped on major stages with her band Love La Femme, which paved the way for her to develop her own voice. After closing that cycle, she launched her solo career, merging folk ballads, spectral country blues, and Spanish-language torch songs with the rebellious irreverence of punk.
Raw crafts songs that feel like unearthed relics. Her voice is haunting and intimate, blending rockabilly’s grit, bolero’s histrionics, and lo-fi folk’s rawness—influenced by Lou Reed’s minimalist arrangements and the dramatic lineage of Latin bolero spanning José José, Chavela Vargas, and Violeta Parra. Her performances carry a sense of nostalgia and profound defiance, marked by grit and emotional intensity.
Drawing from her multifaceted biography, Raw’s work circles themes of identity, family, and finding love in all the wrong places. She threads multiple genres into her own tapestry of lo-fi songs, creating a musical and visual universe expressed in both Spanish and English.
