“Cuarenta años” is a song about the cost of emotional silence in a long relationship — and the quiet heartbreak of not being heard. Told from the voice of someone who has spent decades waiting to be truly seen, the lyrics unravel a story of self-abandonment, emotional survival, and finally, liberation.

It’s not necessarily a breakup song — it’s a song about reclaiming one’s voice after years of being invisible. About choosing self-respect over quiet suffering. About how, sometimes, the deepest pain comes not from a single betrayal, but from a thousand moments of emotional neglect.

Why does this song matter? Because so many people live this story. They stay, they give, they hope — but they disappear in the process. “Cuarenta años” gives that silence a voice. It reminds us that choosing ourselves is not selfish… it’s survival.

With a blend of soft acoustic textures, raw rock energy, and a spoken-word rap that echoes like a soul finally speaking, this track is both a confession and a release.

“Responderás” is a call to courage — a powerful reminder that healing is not about blame, but about responsibility. The song speaks to anyone who has carried pain from the past and used it as a shield against growth. It’s a voice gently — and then fiercely — urging: “If you want the life you say you want, you must step out of the shadows.”

Blending soft melancholic guitars with moments of raw, distorted intensity, the music mirrors the emotional journey: from quiet self-reflection to a rising sense of urgency. The lyrics confront both the weight of trauma and the power of choice, reminding us that even if we didn’t create the wounds, we’re still responsible for the healing.

Why does this song matter? Because too many people stay stuck in pain they didn’t cause, believing that’s all they’re allowed to feel. But transformation starts when we stop waiting to be rescued — and start stepping into our own light.

“Responderás” is for the moment you stop looking back — and begin to move forward, no matter how hard it feels.

“La vieja silla” is a quiet revelation — a conversation that took forty years to happen. In this intimate, acoustic duet, a couple sits together late in life, finally asking what was left unsaid. Her answer is simple: “I always told you what I felt.” But when it’s his turn, a lifetime of silence begins to unravel.

This song gives voice to the emotional labor many men carry without recognition — the kind done in silence, through work, through sacrifice, through staying strong when falling apart would be easier. It’s about a love that endured, but not without a cost. A man who held up the house with his bare hands, stone by stone, while slowly fading into the background of his own life.

Why does this song matter? Because in so many long relationships, one partner speaks and the other holds it in — not out of pride, but out of duty. And sometimes, by the time they feel ready to speak, the years have already passed. This is a tribute to that kind of love: the kind that builds, carries, endures — even if it never learned to speak.

Soft guitars, layered voices, and a closing that feels like both a goodbye and a surrender. “La vieja silla” isn’t just a song — it’s a confession long overdue.

“Entre el caos y el color” is a quiet storm of a song — a duet between two voices who love each other, but see life differently. One seeks simplicity, calm, and control. The other longs for beauty, creation, and freedom. Their journey is not one of right or wrong, but of learning to listen, to coexist, and to recognize that love often lives between contrast, not in spite of it.

This song matters because so many couples get lost in the same cycle: one partner overwhelmed by chaos, the other stifled by too much structure. But what if both are just trying to build meaning in their own way? What if their love was never about agreeing — but about holding space for each other’s truth?

“Entre el caos y el color” invites us to soften, to reflect, and to ask: Can two different souls build a shared life without losing themselves?
A song for anyone who’s ever loved through complexity.

“Hija del Fuego” is not just a song. It’s a memory, a wound, and a choice.

Born in a VW bus somewhere between Madrid and nowhere, Maya Hidalgo grew up in a world of firelight and chaos, music and freedom, with a mother who danced not just with men—but with power. A woman who ruled her nights, not as a victim, but as a force.

As a child, Maya watched it all—drums, lovers, smoke, and longing—without understanding. But as she grew older, the truth became clear: love can be ritual, and addiction can wear the mask of freedom.

At twelve, Maya asked her mother if she could be part of that world. What she received was not permission, but a blessing:

“Tú naciste para transformar.”
“You were born to transform.”

This song is that transformation.
A whispered beginning.
A ballad of bloodlines and choices.

“Hija del Fuego” blends Spanish folk, acoustic soul, and poetic storytelling in the tradition of Silvana Estrada, Lhasa de Sela, and early Rosalía. The chorus becomes a conversation—a haunting echo from a past that shaped her, but could not define her.

For anyone raised in contradiction.
For anyone who had to choose a different flame.
For anyone who still sings, and still loves.

"Nacido en un Canto" is a deeply spiritual journey through faith, doubt, and the search for authentic connection with the divine. The song explores the tension between organized religion and personal spirituality, between inherited beliefs and discovered truth.  Through haunting melodies and introspective lyrics, this track tells the story of someone raised in faith who must navigate their own relationship with the sacred. It's about finding God not in the rules and rituals, but in the quiet moments of genuine seeking.  

This song matters because it gives voice to the millions who have struggled with faith — not those who reject it entirely, but those who seek it more authentically. It's for anyone who has ever felt that their spiritual journey didn't fit the mold they were given.  With gentle acoustic foundations building to powerful, anthem-like moments, "Nacido en un Canto" is both a prayer and a declaration of spiritual independence.
