Los EspĂritus del Tepeyac Bajo la Lluvia de Plata is a prayer-sound journey I created for Guadalupe, who is also Coatlicue. The work expresses the idea that the Virgin of Guadalupe is not separate from the prehispanic mother-goddess, but rather her transformed and veiled face.
The silver rain symbolizes divine protection and renewal, falling over Tepeyac, the sacred hill where these two identities meet.
This project is also inspired by an angelic apparition I experienced when I was eight years old an encounter with a being resembling a Virgin that came to me in my sleep the night my grandfather died. That moment has stayed with me, shaping the way I understand presence, protection from the Catholic church, and transformation.
Although I wanted to release this album last year, I finally had the time to finish this new sound-journey prayer. I was inspired by pre-Hispanic sounds, as well as colonial sonic elements. Allowing the piece to reflect both ancestral memory and the tensions of transformation.
I will be sharing it on December 12th, The Virgin of Guadalupe Day, on Bandcamp and SoundCloud so you can listen to it.
