The musical artist from Ciudad Real known as ‘Close up‘ presented last night, before all of Spain in the program ‘The Revolt’ from TVE, his song ‘tears of drought‘. A song that pays tribute to the women of La Mancha for the burdens they have suffered historically, connecting their strength and historical resilience with a powerful metaphor: the unshed tears for all the secrets kept silent in the face of social pressures over the years could end the drought that plagues the region and fills the Guadiana again.
‘Lapili’, through their social networks, describes the song as a personal and artistic challenge. “It is the first time that I do something inspired by the culture where I was born, Castilla-La Mancha,” she says, ensuring that she is “normally” inspired by music from other places, which has completely forced her to leave her “zone of comfort”.
The inspiration for this song comes from women’s stories of his family and of many others who “have been always the pillar of your house» and «they have had to bear the weight of keeping traumatic secrets due to taboo».
The song suggests that if all those women cried for everything they had kept silent about, the drought in La Mancha would end and the Guadiana River would fill again.
«This song is a tribute to all those women and it is a reminder that It’s never too late to heal thingsthat everything that hurts us and we keep, repress and do not want to face, in the end it comes out in one way or another,” concludes the artist in a video published on social networks.
