“Chess is a mirror of life, a treasure of humanity” – Juga di Prima
Captivating the chess world, Juga di Prima’s ‘Oh Capablanca’ is described by chess pros as the best chess song ever written, while ‘Tactical’ is a sensual, thrilling song about inner struggles.
In the aftermath of the seemingly unlikely popularity of Netflix’s ‘The Queens Gambit’, the Chilean artist has the opportunity to show fans of the series that she is legitimately living a life equally exciting as Beth Harmon (lead character in the series).
“Chess has inspired many writers and painters throughout history but until now, very few songs had been written about the game. Juga has filled that gap. She has become the voice and music of chess” – David Llada Fide, International Chess Federation
Juga has had multitudes of success in both her chess and music career, living a dream where both her passions intertwine.
She was invited to perform her chess songs for top chess champions all over the world, including the Batumi Chess Olympiad and the World Chess Championship in London.
Through her exploits Juga has become a Goodwill Ambassador for Artistic Values of Chess, an award also received by world renowned artist Yoko Ono.
In 2021 Juga is becoming a feminist in the chess world, championing women chess players and their achievements from 1930 to present day in an event entitled ‘Chess Divas’ which will be featured on Norwegian television amongst other online media.

Juga di Prima has been recognised by many major media platforms including Sky News, BBC World Radio and The Guardian.
If you’re a fan of The Queens Gambit and want to carry on your new found passion and obsession with chess, give Juga’s music a listen, you’ll love it! (Links below)
