🦜🌴🦜🌴🦜🌴🦜🌴🦜🌴🦜🌴🦜🌴 “Abro mis alas, y muestro mis garas.” I spread my wings, and I flash my claws. Diáspora’s new album is out on the 27th. 🎷🎤🎸🎤🪘🎤🎺 Haven’t you heard? 🦎🐛 Live like a bird… 🐦🐤 @roryduffy27 @rea_qunta @wamcgee @danigallini @tonyrubet @drummerharry @joe.fenning I always felt for Oliver’s sweet red rose seller in “Who Will Buy?” because although she made the effort to get out of bed before anyone else, she was all too soon overcome by an onslaught of other traders. She didn’t stand a chance. I began to think about her backstory… "Mañana" is a song about Depression. It stages a fictional dialogue between the woman and a man (a carer or close friend). Our flower merchant been driven to delusion by the opportunities and promises - a bicycle, a boyfriend, and a baby - that life repeatedly wafts in front of her, and subsequently withdraws, because she is too ‘slow’ (this is why she wakes up early in the morning - to get a head start on the rest of the world). The man voices the laissez-faire (“let it go”) sentiments of those around her, shutting her down, and gaslighting her into thinking that these offers and withdrawals were merely figs of her imagination. The fools in the background enact the ephemeral phantoms, jokers and flag wavers who conglomerate around to heckle and jeer at her imminent disillusionment. 👻🚩 In the end, she wonders where all the people have gone, and finds herself alone in the waiting room, forced to confront her solitude. The worst shock she must endure is the possibility that the voices in her head are not ghosts; they are projections of her inner turmoil. Ultimately, “Mañana” highlights the paralysing sense of abandonment one can feel, when stuck inside one’s own head, unable to articulate oneself, let alone trust… “Mañana” / “Madrugada” (“morning” / “night”) = while the rest of the world continues; for some, being a prisoner of the mind can be a perpetual, daily, nightly, reality… 🌹🥀 And here is the voice behind the song, our amazing chica Latina, Daniela! 💙 Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-03-manana Rise and shine to “Verano” on all major music stores 27th March. 🐓🌅
Rea plays the part of a medium/interpreter, who calms and soothes our restless warrior. She prays for his saint to end the war, settle the score, and ensure liberty is in store. “Give me life. Give me blessings. Bring me sunshine.”
And here is our spirited Tony, to invoke Verano’s opening number! ❤️ Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/redandblackmusic/snippet-01-santo-mio
