Doga is the eighth studio album by Argentine musician Juana Molina. It was released on 5 November 2025 by Sonamos, an independent record label she co-founded in 2021. Doga marks Molina's first release of new original compositions in eight years, and her first collaboration with a producer since her troubled debut album Rara (1996). The origin of these compositions dates back to 2019, when Molina prepared a series of concerts called Improviset alongside keyboardist and frequent collaborator Odín Schwartz, during which they recorded at least sixty hours of improvisation using analog synthesizers and sequencers.
The recording sessions of the album took place between 2020 and 2025 at Molina's home studio in General Pacheco, Greater Buenos Aires; at the Sonorámica residential studio in Traslasierra, Córdoba Province; and at Hotel2Tango in Montreal, where she collaborated with Canadian musicians Leslie Feist, Andrew Barr and Howard Bilerman. Molina enlisted Haro as producer after developing most of the material, needing help to select and condense many hours of recordings into an album. Haro pushed Molina to re-record the songs multiple times and think of the lyrics, a departure from her usual working methods.
Doga received universal acclaim from music critics, who praised its experimental, genre-defying sound as an evolution of her established musical identity, with some calling it her best work to date.
