Thank you for inviting me to be a part of this @ednamartinezdj . Made a mix with songs that say more than anything I could write really.....Going to play two songs I wrote a while ago, one which I performed live in January 2020 at the Museum of Memory & Human Rights in Santiago and another which was made shortly after, they're both influenced by what was taking place in Chile at the time which mirrors in some ways what we are seeing in Colombia now. As some of you may know, since the end of april in Colombia there have been more than 2,000 cases of police violence against protesters, 33 victims of eye injuries and more than 40 civilians killed by the police. Since the beginning of the year more than 60 rights defenders have been assasinated, and among them 20 were indigenous leaders. Since 2016, over 400 human rights defenders have been killed. In all this darkness, there may be some hope that the protests can create meaningful change. Last Sunday, Chileans elected a new group of citizens who will write a new constitution for the country. This was one of the core demands of the huge protests of 2019/2020.  It will be the first anywhere in the world to be written by an equal number of men and women and it will replace the constitution that has been in place since the years of the military dictatorship.  The only reason this moment of hope is possible in Chile is because of the incredible social movements that rose up to demand change. As I've said elsewhere, the courage and determination of Chilean students, activists, protesters, writers, artists has been astounding and they have/are shifted/shifting the political landscape and will continue to do so. In the past month I've heard stories of Colombian protesters taking cues from Chilean protesters and beautiful solidarity between Colombians and Palestinians also. We have so much to learn from each other. May this solidarity and interconnectedness bring us better days and in the meantime may music sustain us and nourish us. Much love to you all ♡♡♡♡ - May 22nd 2021

The Sequence

FindYourSelf

Moody thoughts about things what makes the difference

Things we lost in the fire

Approaching The City

Tightrope

  You're just doing everything  
That you can not to drown 
At least that's what you tell yourself
 While the curtain's coming down  
On another little tragedy 
Or maybe just a farce 
And still you cross your fingers 
There behind you, in the dark  

The colors run together 
And the coins are thrown forever 
An instrument of trust  
Achieve the speed of falling 
By the time they split the surface 
Never break the veil of dust  
Around you  

Where's the fairy godmother saying 
You will go to the ball? 
Now you've pinned the angel's wings 
You've collected, on the wall  
See the tightrope swinging 
So much harder than before 
When the latch goes click 
You're on the wrong side of the door  

The colors run together 
And the coins are thrown forever 
An instrument of trust  
Achieve the speed of falling
 By the time they split the surface 
Never break the veil of dust  
Around you Around you Around you  

And savage flows the river 
Between me and my forgiver 
Across the boundary  
And so there comes the wishing 
Alone with all the wanting 
As far as I can see  
The colors run together 
The coins are thrown forever  
Can you see the speed I'm falling 
Can you hear my voice is calling  
Around you Around you Around you
