Metralla Rosa con Carla Tofano

This interview was recorded on the 3rd of April 2023 and released on the 15th of December 2024
Metralla Rosa’s guest for episode 55 is the musician, singer and cultural activist, Juan David Chacón, better known as OneChot. This interview was recorded in Venezuela, on the banks of the River Choroní – one of the artist’s favourite creative sanctuaries – and shows first hand how important it is to embrace debate within our lives, especially within our most endearing, familial relationships. Carla and OneChot are related both by blood and paths trodden, united by their creative visions, memories of a beloved Venezuela and thoughts on life and art – all of which they share in this fluid coming together of opinions.
In this delicious, flowing conversation above the banks of the river, whose sweet waters provide a musical background throughout the interview, OneChot turns back time and returns to his musical roots with memories of his teachers and his first bands, Negus Nagast and Papashanty, both of which played important roles in the development of the contemporary urban sounds of the region. We also bond over the abundance of anecdotes that cover his far from modest discography as a solo artist, his book Reggae y Rastafari: Dos formas de entender el Caribe (Reggae and Rastafari: Two ways of understanding the Caribbean) and his current global radio programme, Caribbean Flow, which is broadcast online by both Radio Caribe – the official station of the Venezuelan diaspora – and PelaGatos – the Argentine platform with the largest Spanish speaking audience for Afro-Caribbean music. Carla and OneChot also discuss the loss of innocence in a city like Caracas, a city that, shortly after having turned his song, Rotten Town, into a hit, forced our guest to pay the highest price possible for the privilege of speaking out.
Committed to the transformation and liberation of Venezuela – a country that is going through a seemingly endless political crisis – as well as the dissemination the Rastafari cultural and spiritual paradigm, OneChot celebrated the 25 years of his artistic career with a concert supporting resistance and social change, held in his native Caracas – a city that continues to be the natural focus of his emphatic musical experimentations. As a survivor of the violence of Caracas in the early 2000s, OneChot tells us how not even being shot in the head has weakened the unwavering loyalty he feels towards the Venezuelan people, who deserve artists capable of planting the seeds for a future beyond the frustrations and hopelessness that most cannot help but see.
In this relaxed, loving, intimate and heartfelt conversation, OneChot delights us with his pacifist worldviews on art and life and invites us to bask in warmth of the tones and rhythms of his spoken word, as it flows through us. Thanks to this interview, we are called to honour the peace and hope Juan David preaches, every day, through the life he lives.
And now, enjoy the interview!

Questa intervista è stata registrata il 03 aprile 2023 e rilasciata il 15 dicembre 2024
Musicista, cantante e comunicatore, Juan David Chacón, meglio conosciuto con il nome d’arte di OneChot, è l’ospite dell’episodio 55 di Metralla Rosa. Questa intervista non solo è stata registrata in Venezuela, lungo il corso del fiume Choroní, in uno dei santuari della creatività preferiti dall’artista, ma riflette anche la possibilità che ci è sempre offerta di dare un contesto che faccia da sfondo ai nostri affetti più veri. Carla e OneChot sono fratelli di sangue e di viaggio, perché li uniscono le loro visioni creative, i ricordi dell’amato Venezuela e il modo di sentire l’arte e la vita, che condividono in questo fluido incontro di punti di vista.
Durante questa piacevole e disinvolta conversazione sulle rive delle dolci acque del fiume, il cui fluire costituisce la colonna sonora di tutta l’intervista, OneChot riavvolge il nastro dei ricordi e torna indietro fino ai suoi primi passi nel mondo della musica, al tempo dei suoi maestri e alla sua partecipazione alle prime band venezuelane come i Negus Nagast e Papashanty, gruppi che hanno fatto la storia dello sviluppo della musica urbana contemporanea della regione. In questa intervista, in cui si avverte un sentimento autentico di fratellanza, il nostro ospite ci parla, aggiungendo un gran numero di aneddoti, della sua niente affatto modesta discografia come solista. L’artista ci mette inoltre al corrente del suo libro Reggae y Rastafari: Dos formas de entender el Caribe (Reggae e Rastafari, due modi di intendere il Caraibico), e del suo recente progetto a carattere globale, una trasmissione chiamata Caribbean Flow, diffusa online da Radio Caribe – l’emittente ufficiale della diaspora venezuelana – e da PelaGatos, la piattaforma argentina di maggiore diffusione di musica afro-caraibica in spagnolo. Carla e OneChot dialogano anche sulla perdita dell’innocenza in una città come Caracas, una città che, poco dopo il successo virale del tema Rotten Town, ha fatto pagare al nostro artista un prezzo altissimo, solo per aver avuto il privilegio di usare la sua voce.
Impegnato nel processo di trasformazione e di liberazione del Venezuela, paese che attraversa una crisi politica che sembra non avere mai fine, e con la diffusione del paradigma culturale e spirituale rastafari, OneChot ha festeggiato i 25 anni di carriera artistica nel 2024 con un grande concerto a favore della resistenza nella sua città natale, la Caracas che fino a oggi ha costituito l’epicentro naturale di tutte le sue sperimentazioni musicali rese senza incertezze. Da sopravvissuto dei fatti di violenza del 2000 a Caracas, OneChot ci racconta anche di come nemmeno il fatto di aver ricevuto uno sparo in testa abbia indebolito la sua indistruttibile lealtà verso un popolo – quello venezuelano- che merita artisti in grado di seminare un futuro in un terreno dove gli altri vedono solo frustrazione e disperazione.
In questa intervista rilassata, affettuosa, amichevole e serena, OneChot ci allieta con la sua visione cosmica e pacifista dell’arte e della vita e ci invita a godere del calore che emanano il tono e il ritmo delle sue parole, man mano che fluiscono dentro di noi. Senza fretta, grazie a questa intervista, tutti siamo chiamati a onorare la pace e la speranza che Juan David predica ogni giorno con la sua stessa vita.
E ora, godetevi l’intervista!

Esta entrevista se grabó el 03 de abril del 2023 y se publicó el 15 de diciembre de 2024.
Músico, cantante y comunicador, Juan David Chacón, mejor conocido bajo su alias artistico, OneChot, es el invitado del episodio 55 de Metralla Rosa. Esta entrevista no solo fue grabada en Venezuela, sobre el cauce del Río de Choroní, en uno de los santuarios creativos favoritos del artista, sino que además, refleja la posibilidad que siempre tenemos de dar un contexto reflexivo a nuestros afectos incuestionables. Carla y OneChot son hermanos de sangre y de camino, porque los unen visiones creativas, memorias de su amado país Venezuela y sentimientos acerca del arte y de la vida que comparten en este fluido encuentro de puntos de vista.
En esta deliciosa y fluida conversación a orillas de las aguas dulces del rio, que probablemente escuchen como backgroud musical a lo largo de toda la entrevista, OneChot rebobina la memoria y se remonta a sus inicios en el mundo de la música, a sus maestros musicales y a su participación junto a bandas venezolanas como Negus Nagast y Papashanty: agrupaciones que han hecho historia en el devenir contemporáneo de los sonidos urbanos de la región. En esta entrevista llena de auténtica fraternidad, nuestro invitado aborda con proliferación anecdótica su nada modesta discografía como solista, nos cuenta acerca de su libro Reggae y Rastafari: Dos formas de entender el Caribe, y acerca de su actual proyecto radial de alcance mundial, Caribbean Flow, transmitido online por Radio Caribe – la emisora oficial de la diáspora venezolana – y por PelaGatos, la plataforma (argentina) de mayor difusión de la música Afro-Caribe en español. Carla y OneChot también conversan en esta entrevista sobre la pérdida de la inocencia en una ciudad cómo Caracas, una ciudad que, poco después de haber hecho viral el tema Rotten Town, le hizo pagar un precio muy alto, a nuestro artista invitado, por el milagro de usar su voz.
Comprometido con el proceso de transformación y liberación de Venezuela, país que atraviesa una crisis política que parece no tener fin, y comprometido con la difusión del paradigma cultural y espiritual rastafari, OneChot cumplió 25 años de carrera artística en 2024 y lo celebró con un gran concierto de resistencia en su Caracas natal, ciudad que además ha sido hasta hoy, el epicentro natural de todas sus asertivas experimentaciones musicales. Siendo un sobreviviente de la violencia de la Caracas del 2000, OneChot nos cuenta también como ni siquiera recibir un disparo en la cien, ha debilitado su inquebrantable lealtad hacia un pueblo – el venezolano – que merece artistas que siembren futuro donde muchos solo ven frustración y desesperanza.
En esta entrevista relajada, amorosa, cercana y serena, OneChot nos deleita con su pacifista cosmovisión del arte y de la vida y nos invita a fluir con su tempo, en su tono y al ritmo de su cálido verbo. Sin prisas, gracias a esta entrevista, todos nos vemos convocados a honrar la paz y la esperanza que Juan David predica con su vida, cada dia.
