Ánegel Lemus, known as AKA Lemus, 24, is from Ciudad Rodrigo, although his career has taken him in different corners of the country. However, a while ago, he decided to return to Salamanca with a clear goal: the bet is everything for his music project, a proposal that breathes the essence of Sharra but with a contemporary approach. It is not nostalgia, but development. “Folklore cannot be exclusively,” he says. “There must be a dialogue between the past, the present and the future.”
His suggestion is, above all, re -read. He does not deny the root, prepare it, but it gives it renewed aesthetic to bring it closer to new generations. In his speech, there is a cultural claim: “We must be the first to appreciate our land. Instead of Tous episodes, we should be proudly worn Charros buttons. ” Is his project not just an album: “Berrako Is a Movement”, which is an appeal to restore the identity of Charra with the same emotion that you will do in Galicia or Catalonia in their traditions.
Music was always in his life. His mother, the pianist, was surrounded by sounds and went through the music schools where he played Chilo. But at the age of 12, the rap crossed his way and changed everything. “In the institute, with my cakes,” Bredaoa “was remembered.
This betting pushed him to integrate the audience with Charo Folklor, who was not immediately understood, but he still acquires the acceptance of the most traditional sector.
Lemus does not remain on the surface: investigation, reading books, diving in folklore forums, and above all, experience. He confirms that his references range from C. Tangana, which he admires for his ability to achieve ideas, to TOña La Negra, the icon of Mexican music in the sixty. In its operating menu, it fits everything, from Bad Bunny to classic piano pieces.
Sharo folklore from a personal look
For him, music is not a fast consumption product. “Today, the depth is missing. I want to make records that you can continue to discover within five years. ” This level of participation in their songs is noted. “Eyes of Sharra” was the first topic of poetry that he made real music. With “Vetonia”, explore his face as a product. But “Halm Oak” is his most intimate work, in honor of his father, who consists of his mother. “These are vomiting words, the body asked me. She is the most personal I did, it’s a message to my father that we are fine. ”
He also took care of the visual. With “The First Charra Dinner”, one of his most striking shows was born with the idea of re -creation of “Da Vinci’s last dinner” at Code Salamanca. He commissioned the work to the neighboring artist Lydia, who was drawn within five days just 2 x 2 meters. “At first I didn’t want to put myself in the center, I do not want to be a savior for anything, I just contribute to seeing me. But Lydia insisted that I should be me.
Without fear of failure, without fear of creation
Lemus is the stories meter. He does not consider himself a musician or a way out of anything, but someone writes and executes what he simply imagines. His method is a life of life: proof and error. “I am a fan of failure. If you don’t try, you don’t know if the idea is good or bad. It does not stop trying. Because it is clear: “I will die in making art, poor or rich, but art is.” Next Thursday, March 27, we will continue to discover more stories of “Berrako”, and its new topic will appear as folklore continues to develop with “La Clara”.
