Imposible

My new track “Imposible” features lyrics that were adapted from a song written by my dad, Carlos G Peñaloza. He was 19 years old in Cochabamba, and he wrote it for his first love. He could never talk to her because he was too shy, and so was she! A composite of impossibilities. ⠀
⠀
My friend Zezé also wrote a piece of the lyric! “Imposible” is the first of a series of singles in Spanish to be released this year that are co-produced with Dave Shul. You can listen to “Imposible” now on all streaming platforms – and check it out on IRIE Mag’s Jan 2022 Spotify playlist

Lyrics:

Tantos años buscando
Un amor imposible
Ahora sé no tengo que buscar
No voy a llorar, (llorar), llorar
Si lloro serían lágrimas felices
Agua dulce, pa’ mis raíces
Sé que sola soy completa
Y el amor, está dentro de mi
Corazón en soledad
No puede ver en verdad
Corazón enamorado
Mira con los ojos cegados
Cegados (cegados)
Corazón en soledad
No puede ver en verdad
Voy creando mi sueño
Sin temor e invencible
Mi instinto me guía
Me voy a inundar (nadar), nadar
Mi alegría se transforma en delfine
Y me alma en agua y arrecife
Sé que sola, soy perfecta
Y el amor está dentro de mi
Corazón en soledad
No puede ver en verdad (verdad)
Corazón enamorado
Mira con los ojos cegados
Cegados (cegados)
Corazón en soledad
No puede ver en verdad
Aquí no vale solo que mal acompañado
Aquí vale el cariño y todo lo que damos
La vida es una sola y viene en muchas formas
Y la gente te quiere cuando, cuando
Nos ven como nos vemos
El amor es un espejo junto a su reflejo
Debemos mirarnos mirarnos mirarnos
Corazón en soledad
No puede ver en verdad (verdad)
Corazón en soledad
No puede ver en verdad (verdad)
Corazón enamorado
Mira con los ojos cegados
Cegados (cegados)
Corazón en soledad
No puede ver en verdad

Crash

Artwork by very talented graphic artist Júlio Mesquita⠀
Composed, performed, produced and mixed by Razteria
Mastered by TrakWorx
⠀
Lyrically, “Crash” tells the stereotypical story of tourism in a coastal paradise, where the locals try to please the Gringo (man), but he will inevitably “crash”, a metaphor for death and an end to the power hierarchy which exists in society between humans. Most importantly, recognizing that the destruction and domination of nature is an illusion, we are only destroying ourselves. The wave’s crash represents the transformative power of nature to which we will all return. The song symbolizes the freedom we realize when we embrace our insignificance. By letting go of the myths we hold about ourselves, and allowing our egos to crash, we find peace. Death is the ultimate equalizer, we will return, like the waves to the ocean.

I Feel Naked

My new single is about the vulnerability which comes with the intensity of love and desire for another. I have pushed my limits as an artist and producer on this new single experimenting both musically and lyrically. Originally written in 2016, I first produced and released it as the song “Naked” in 2018, but felt that version was too glossy. After revisiting the track this year, I realized that the original song’s raw qualities should be brought back.

No Veo Nada

“No Veo Nada” was written using a piece of Zezé Fassmor’s poetry. Zezé became blind at 25, 10 years ago, due to a rare disease (sympathetic ophthalmia) resulting from a penetrating eye injury. Despite all of the obstacles that he has confronted he has moved forward, creating his own poetry and promoting other artists and musicians. Living in between reality and the dream world, he finds peace through acceptance, diving deep into his being, and his desire to live and love. Symbolically through this song, I am the “dulce voz,” the sweet voice, helping him to “see the horizon”.

I have launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for buying equipment needed for a home studio so Zezé can start a podcast to further his artistic productions and the promotional efforts he makes for other independent artists and musicians.
