Biography

Roberto Carlos Lange (born 1980), better known by his stage name Helado Negro, is an American musician. In 2019 he was awarded a United States Artists Fellow in Music and also the recipient of a 2019 Grants to Artists award in Music from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. In 2015 he received a Joyce Foundation award. A South Florida native, born to Ecuadorian immigrants and based in Brooklyn, Roberto Carlos Lange’s upbringing provides essential elements to his songwriting, including his consistently bilingual—English and Spanish—lyrics. Exploring the expressivity within intense states of being, Latinx identity, and pluralistic sensibilities, his music as Helado Negro is an engrossing statement achieved through lyrically personal and political avant-pop music. Half a decade and half a dozen albums since Helado Negro’s 2009 debut album Awe Owe, and multiple projects under various aliases, Lange has cultivated an untraditional approach to songcraft that places his voice on an adventurous musical impulse without shying away from familiar pop appreciation. Helado Negro is now signed to and released his 2019 album This Is How You Smile through RVNG Intl., a Brooklyn-based music institution. This Is How You Smile received an 8.5 rating and Best New Music from Pitchfork.

LYRICS

Y hace mil años
Leí tu nombre
Nadie quiere pensar
Que hay algo en la nada
Y el cuerpo de luz aparece
Cuando veo, oh
Tu cara, ah
Y mi cuerpo de luz aparece
Cuando guiño, oh
A tu alma, ah

Sábado se quedan
Dormidos todo el día
Sábanas de estrellas
Resbalan sobre mí, oh-oh

Y tu cuerpo de luz brilla
Y tu cuerpo de luz sale
Este cuerpo, oh
Tiene millones de dolores
