When I arrived in Slovakia in 2017 due to my EVS project in KERIC (Čadca), I had a cultural shock about how different our cultures are. But after some time, I could start seeing all the similarities, and specifically how patriarchy affects all of us in every place in the world. Even though I was just starting to play the ukulele in May 2019, and because back then I had a really close experience with a friend suffering from gender and domestic violence, I wrote my first song "Vamonos".

In Argentina, things are very different, and being a feminist has become an unavoidable thing for all women. It's become a particular way to release the anger and pain in front of such terrible situations, and the only way to change things around us and grow as a better society.

"Vamonos" is an offer of understanding, listening, support and sorority. It's a song about violence and absence. And it's just me telling you that we can help each other and overcome it.

After a year of that moment, with the circularity of life and the universe setting me in the same physical and symbolical spot, I was doing this art residency project in Stanica Záriečie about accepting myself as an artist, recognising my own art and trajectory, improving my performance, recording my very first song in a studio and make a video as a document of the process of creation. And, of course, release my pain and anger too.

After two weeks of working on the sound, chords and lyrics, I could record it in a professional studio with my friend Viktor Vasil, a charismatic and sensitive Slovak musician and composer, who worked as a technician and second voice. Here is the result:
