🎶 Latin-jazz-singer-songwriter & painter from 🇵🇷 living in 🇩🇪 I tell stories of change, love, nostalgia and the insatiable hunger for the new 🎨

7 DAYS, 7 PAINTINGS - No. 1 “SUEÑO” I made this p 7 DAYS, 7 PAINTINGS - No. 1 “SUEÑO”

I made this painting, titled “Sueño” (Dream), in 2009, one year after migrating to Germany. I painted some of the things I missed about Puerto Rico, my home country. And for the first time, the bird-fish appeared, without legs and always flying. It is a magical animal I invented to represent constant change and my desire to survive the pain of migration. On my head, you can see elements of the Puerto Rican architecture of the Old San Juan, as well as the tropical forest of El Yunque, the maga flower (Puerto Rico’s national flower), banana leaves, and a small boat with suitcases, a symbol of migration. This reminds me of something Puerto Rican composer Sylvia Rexach sang: Remembering is living that yesterday again. 
This painting was just the beginning because after the dream comes the awakening. I will tell you about this in the next video when I bring you another of my paintings.

Each one of them tells a piece of my journey of becoming an immigrant in Germany and leaving behind my birth country Puerto Rico. More tomorrow in the first video 😎

I have another “major to minor” song for you! I re I have another “major to minor” song for you! I recorded two versions for my song “Under Neon Stars”, one in a cheerful major key and a more bluesy one in minor - which one do you like better? The first version is as I recorded the song for its original release in the key of C major. For the second version we changed the key to C minor… same lyrics, same tempo, but the melody and chords transformed to the minor key. I wonder if I like that one even better 🤔 What do you think?

I visited Miguel de Unamuno (well… his statue), wh I visited Miguel de Unamuno (well… his statue), who is believed to have characterized Spanish as the language of men and Portuguese as the language of women 😅 do you agree? And does it mean that my native Spanish language brought out my “masculine side” and that I needed to learn Portuguese to connect with my “femininity” ?! OR IS ALL THIS B.S.😁
