Daily Discovery: Raquel Kurpershoek – Qué Más Me Da!

“Qué Más Me Da!” is a track from Bienaventurada, the brand-new album by Dutch-Spanish vocalist and composer Raquel Kurpershoek. Born in Amsterdam and raised between the Netherlands and southern Spain, Kurpershoek has developed a distinctive style that draws on flamenco, Latin American traditions, and global contemporary sounds. Trained at Codarts in Rotterdam and the Rafael Orozco Conservatory in Córdoba, she brings both technical range and cross-cultural fluency to her work.

This track keeps things minimal and tightly focused. It’s built around dry, punchy percussion, with a sparse but deliberate arrangement that gives Kurpershoek’s voice plenty of space. There’s no flamenco flourish or guitar-driven intensity herejust rhythm, tone, and control. Her vocal delivery is measured and quietly confident, carrying the lyrics without pushing for drama.

Lyrically, the song’s title—“Qué Más Me Da”—loosely translates as “What does it matter to me?” or “Why should I care?”, reflecting a mood of release rather than defiance. It’s not about confrontation but about letting go, and Kurpershoek leans into that sentiment without overstating it. The lyrics sit lightly in the arrangement, more reflective than rhetorical.

The wider album, Bienaventurada, was partly recorded in Mexico and shaped by the poetry of Amado Nervo, whose work explores themes of love, loss, and renewal. That influence carries through in both tone and form.
