Did you know you can release emotional tension by stretching your hips?

Join our conversation with Xenia Xamanek sharing with us some of their unreleased music and influences such as Victor Jara. Bridging sounds from their Honduran and Danish heritage, Xamanek brings to life a new sound that enchants you with songs like "Embrujada" ('Bewitched'). We discuss the role of politics in music production as both a restriction and a driving force. Xamanek continues to nurture new sounds, exploring more and more their Latin American influences, combining popular sounds of reggaeton and cumbia with neoperreo to embody the complex emotional spaces within. Bringing to life seemingly contradictory feelings and ideas, Xamanek weaves them into a sonic conversation that won’t let you sit still.

Xenia Xamanek would like to dedicate Victor Jara's "Canción De Cuna Para Un Niño Vago" to the Children of Gaza.
