The conflict is born from the opposition between people or things, in music I believe that art is in finding the balance that is born from joining two or more different criteria. The conflict is the excuse to find a common point. In this time of isolation, being able to meet so many incredible musicians is a remedy within chaos. In this "Cueca" we seek to find that balance, where very different cultures coexist and converge in a single language, shaping the personality and imprint of each musician.
In these times of limits to the meeting, the possibility of shortening distances and meet other sounds and cultures sharing music keeps us from loneliness. So this composition made a few years ago found a new meaning for me. A dreamlike journey, images and memories that come back from the same dream, recalling the infinite possibilities of memory ….
Out of place, confused, stumbling but keeping pace. Keeping moving without being able to see all the way ... without giving up.
The song deals with courage and fear conflicting within. There is an overcoming power within us and we must be still to have it find us. The sum of this song is captured in one lyric, "If life is to live then why to fear?"
