Chisos (our band) had our first show of this year last night. This was the fourth show we have performed live and it was probably the best yet. I didn’t expect many people to come out because it was after midnight and a cold front blew in last night but they did and I was nervous- I am still not totally comfortable singing in front of a crowd. Often people assume i am an extrovert but i am more introverted and have a lot of anxiety expressing my thoughts and feelings because it’s hard to articulate and uncomfortable to express in certain situations, but music has been a great way for me to transform my ideas into lyrics and songs which are dedicated to the land, our culture, and our history. I don’t sing because I want attention I sing because there is somethings I feel I need to say and music makes the delivery a little softer and magical.
Anyways last night was great. I am exhausted (in the best way) and now I have to go to work and then do a dj set from 2-6pm…art and music is my work and I am so grateful. I hope to use this platform as an archive for the different projects I am working on- this is one of them.
