"Cuántas veces" is the single with which PHŌNÉ Records opens its 2026 catalogue, and a statement of what is coming. Con.fusión, the voice that fuses hip hop, jazz and neosoul, meets NuVee's saxophone over a production by ecamhi that treats space as one more instrument. Sounds appear, drift away and wrap around one another, and the voice is treated in an unusual way: stretched, displaced, placed where you would not expect it. The result is an enveloping, atmospheric song with an indie sensibility, where the sax and the voice converse instead of competing.
"Cuántas veces" ("How many times") is about everything that happens inside a dream: thousands of parallel realities that repeat over and over. The production translates that idea into sound, with layers that return, double and shift like scenes from a dream that never ends. Its value lies in the crossing: the vocal craft of a performer trained in jazz, put at the service of a production that takes risks.
"Cuántas veces" marks the beginning of a path of Con.fusión releases leading to "Tulpa", her first solo album, which she is preparing together with Matiah Chinaski. It is Chilean urban fusion sounding from a place of its own.
Con.fusión is the solo project of Catalina Aguilera, a proposal that moves between hip hop, jazz and neosoul, with vocal explorations that range from singing to rap and scat.
