Live Footage: Parra for Cuva Performs “Juri” at Costa Rica’s Nauyaca Waterfall

Nicolas Demuth is a Göttingen, Germany-born, Berlin-based musician, producer and DJ, best known as Parra for Cuva. Demuth will be releasing his sixth studio album Nacar on May 15, 2026.

The album’s third and final single “Juri,” is a lush lounge and club friendly song built around glistening and atmospheric synths, bursts of twinkling keys, chopped up vocal samples and deliberate and handcrafted, propulsive beats and a motorik-like groove. The result is a slickly produced song that feels dreamily hypnotic yet soulful and warm, seemingly channeling Paracosm-era Washed Out.

“‘Juri’ is a natural introduction to the sonic language of Nacar,” Demuth explains. He goes on to explain that the track balances dance floor energy with a sense of intimacy, while setting the foundation for the album’s overall approach: handcrafted sounds shaped into something detailed, fluid, and alive.

Adding to the dreamy vibes, field recordings captured during his recent sessions in Costa Rica have been integrated through the album, connecting the production directly to the environments and locales where the material was inspired and conceived.

The accompanying live footage was shot at Costa Rica’s breathtakingly beautiful Nauyaca Waterfall.

Demuth will be supporting Nacar with an international tour through the fall that includes a North American run of dates in November. He’ll be playing at 99 Scott on November 12, 2026. Check out the rest of the tour dates below.
