Aérea Negrot (9 October 1980 – 11 October 2023) was a Venezuelan performer, singer, electronic musician and remixer.
Negrot lived in Berlin, Germany. Her name was inspired by her fascination with travels and planes and her admiration of the voices of Toña La Negra and Olga Guillot. Her music is a pastiche of electronica, techno, cabaret and pop. She was also part of Hercules & Love Affair, and sings on several tracks of their second album Blue Songs. Her debut album, Arabxilla (2011), was released on BPitch Control.
She was an actress in queer films directed by Shu Lea Cheang (Fluidø), Yony Leyser (Desire Will Set You Free), Simon(è) Jaikiriuma Paetau and Thais Guisasola (The Whisper of the Jaguar).
She also appeared in the web-series Creeps from the Middle East (episode: The Casting),.
Negrot died by suicide on 11 October 2023, at the age of 43.
