Medasawa presents Life in Motherlode, a little trip to a phantasy world through music, poetry and voice, where one learns that reality is made of lucid dreams. It is a materialized utopia, a world poem that guides you in the ascent, by transforming the fruit of imagination into facts. It means feeling the water of an oasis on your skin, traveling through every colour of the rainbow, squeezing until the last drop of the twilight. It means walking down to the deepest level of the night club and realizing that fairies and magic have always dwelled down there. In short, Life in Motherlode is an ode to everything that is good and beautiful, but it is, above all, a grateful gift to love.
Bella Báguena presents a hybrid form between concert and performance, where she deploys both her musical experience as performance and performing arts to produce a stage and sound piece.
This concert is part of the program of activities articulated in relation to the exhibition The mask never lies at the CCCB, in a dialogue between the Center for Contemporary Culture and the Sâlmon Festival.
My name is Medasawa. I am named after the act of giving water. I am a priestess of love and, with my music, I attempt to connect to the divinity, which is more present among us than what we think. My songs usually include mantras and I would like my lyrics to be felt as prayers, either they are said in the temple or in the deepest of a music club. I devote myself to mystery and I worship the unknown, beauty and femininity.
Bella Báguena is a transfeminine artist that works with different disciplines such as music, performance, jewellery and other media. Her artistic production arises from an intuitive and emotional process, and leans back on her voice and body movements, along with objects, spaces and technology, in order to produce sound, video, sculpture or performance works, where emotional expression and thinking play a major role. She aims to achieve a close connection between her emotional experience and the spectator; an honesty medium to communicate regardless of whether the chosen language is verbal or physical, related to forms or to the voice energy, in order to make the spectator aware of her story and experience.
