Conceptual Framework and Musical Influences

Musically, Carne synthesizes a broad range of sonic influences. The album’s lyrical themes address the human body as a contested territory, touching upon psychoanalysis, philosophy, and literature through a blend of humor, irony, and social critique.

Reflecting on the overarching concept during an interview with radio.unr.edu.ar, Solca stated: Me obsesiona esta paradoja que sólo tenemos nosotros: esta existencia condenada a saberse viva y finita al mismo tiempo. The artist explained that the title emerged after composition wrapped, capturing the visceral and liminal spaces explored throughout the 12-track sequence.

Artist Trajectory Within the Independent Scene

Born in Rojas, Buenos Aires, on March 12, 2001, Sol Cascardo began formal music studies at age 12 in her local conservatory before relocating to Rosario at 18 to attend the Facultad de Música of the Universidad Nacional de Rosario (UNR), where she studied psychology before dedicating herself fully to music. Her professional output includes the 2021 drumless debut project SIN ESCUDO, followed by her 2024 debut studio album DIRTBAG, which established her presence in the Rosario independent circuit.

Her career milestones include selection for Sonario—a municipal music project financing program judged by figures including Lalo Mir—alongside supporting slots for Wos at the Ex Rural in November 2024 and an appearance at the Festival Bandera in 2025 as the sole local female artist on that year’s bill, as detailed by dequeruza.ar.
