The Making Of "Amor Y Otros Desastres" - Part II

Part Two: The Influences

For the last three years, I spent a lot of time maintaining contact with many aspects of the Hispanic culture. I watched almost one hundred movies per year and I believe this was a huge factor that inspired me to write in Spanish. The movies helped me to create the idea of what I wanted to do, but I still needed to know how I would do it. So this question led me to search for Latin music and artists that I could use as a base for my work. After a long research I found wonderful songwriters and musicians, I listened to the most famous as Shakira, Alejandro Sanz, Maná and Juanes till new and not-so-known singers as Bernabé and Calle 13. That was an amazing experience, learning about this new culture and bring its features to my pieces just enriched my work and helped to grow as a person. I think I finally could let an unknown part of me come to the surface and this felt so good.
