What is the meaning of collaboration? Is it to leave your comfort zone, push for new ideas , even if you push the wrong way? I’ve found the act of collaboration to lead me to me to new friendships, new paths, personal advancement, reflection and regular electrocution from 1960s tape machines. The grip of the imaginary between artists that over time becomes concrete, the forging of the unimagined. In fear of failure and in lieu of routine. ‘Almas Conectadas’ is a collection of songs inspired in the spiritual, in loss, in the deep mist of a pitch black Sea, in the empowerment of women, in the comedic vignette of village drunks. It feels special. If the act of creation is stumbling in the dark, feeling a new terrain at your feet rising to meet you, collaboration is company, strength in numbers, resilience and growth. In collaboration there is no loneliness, only exploration. I’m sorry, I guess I’m just feeling soppy because tonight is the first time I’m stepping on a stage with a live band in 3 years and tonight @nidiagongoramusic and I present in Bogotá with a 16 piece band made up of some of the most talented musicians I’ve come to meet. Oh and here’s some cool footage of our show poster being printed. #almasconectadas
