A portrait of the battle to truly show ourselves in each moment along with the revolt we feel in the face of the injustices that afflict us and that invade us throughout the world… the fight continues, for being able to be and live, every day, in the freedom of being.”
The songs from the now announced EP Mother Tierra, it is also announced, that they are “stories of a social and protest nature, inspired by Spanish-American music, original songs and urban music”.
