A combination expected perhaps for decades is Angela's new thing with Alika. His most recent single "Who I Am", in addition to bringing together the two pioneers of female reggae from Chile and Argentina respectively, incorporates an unprecedented element that makes it a milestone in the history of Chilean reggae: It is the first song musically produced by a woman., by outstanding artist Talulah Neira.
Angela's new production is a song of recognition and at the same time of gratitude, a hymn to the female lineage. “I am what I am thanks to you”, recites the song in his choir in English, whose message is dedicated especially to his mother but also to the women who have given life until today, to female power in general.
In conversation with Reggae Chalice, Angela revealed some details of the process and said that with this song “a dream for me has come true., one of the many dreams I have had regarding women's work in unity, I have always liked to maintain the union between all of us and try to raise projects that allow us all to grow together and go hand in hand”.
The artist added that "it is a milestone in the history of reggae because at least I do not know of other female reggae musical productions, where the boss is a female artist” in Chile.
In the same direction, the musical producer of the song, Talulah Neira, He said that “it has been a great challenge because there are not many experiences around it being a project entirely produced by a woman. In my case, it is a professional step and a great responsibility to be in charge of the sound and construction of a single that has potential and brings together the best of current female reggae, at the Latin American level”, pointed out in a press release from the Good Things label.
“Who I am” was mixed and mastered by Bigtouch at Ghetto Studio., and is available in all digital stores and YouTube channel. The video was made by Taska in the traditional restaurant "Antiguo Sueño", of the Cajon del Maipo. The track is part of the Cosas Buenas Producciones catalog led by Quique Neira.
Ángela looks at the positive side of what life has been under the pandemic. Recognizes that while the situation in general has been devastating for families and also for artists around the world, prefers to highlight the good that has been generated in this time of confinement and without scenarios.
“(This weather) It has a lot of contrast because we haven't been able to work on making our art, but this has sent us to the studio, It has forced us to spend the time that we perhaps spent on presentations now in the studio., and that has caused a lot of good material to be coming out, of good quality, a lot of music, With digital platforms, a whole world of possibilities has opened up., and the most beautiful, the most important, is that a lot of female work has come out”, express.
For now, Angela continues promoting “Who I Am”. further, plans to continue with his musical projects, release some singles and in the near future, be able to present their second album. everything in its time.
