Interview with Luisa Almaguer

Interviews

Making way and leaving a mark.

There is nothing that gives us more pleasure than seeing that new artists begin to establish themselves, their careers are being formed and people already know what they are up to with their work. Regarding his expected show in it Indie Rocks Forum! This October 8, we were able to talk with Luisa Almaguera singer and actress transoriginally from CDMX itself, who has ventured into music and acting and in the process has paved the way for other artists trans who ventured to make the arts a lifestyle. In a very enjoyable talk, the artist told us about the music she is making, what it is about Weyesher third album, what she would like to achieve in her career and how she would like to be remembered.

At 32 years old, the capital girl is in a moment of balance, recovering and finding herself again. “This year I have been more connected with music and I think it will end the same, I hope the next one will also be like that; In October we have the show in it Forum and it will be like my 15th birthday, it is a long-awaited concert for me and we are preparing something big, a show very eclectic and energetic, we already have confirmed guests and it is going to be something unforgettable, lthe band has responded well to ticket sales and we already have confirmed other places outside of CDMX, such as Querétaro, Guanajuato and SLP, which excites me because I enjoy going out to play wherever we are invited. “I'm coming out of a depression and a somewhat dark moment, some health issues, but now I feel happy and stronger,” she commented.

At some point, we have all wondered if our work makes a difference, if we are doing it well and how we would be remembered, what legacy we leave with it. “I am not looking for money, fame or fortune, clearly, otherwise I would obviously be somewhere else; I do not believe that what we do is capable of changing what we live, with fascism awakening and the planet slowly dying before our eyes due to the ecological disaster we left behind, it would be very naive to think so; What is real is that music accompanies whoever needs it at this end of the world, in a world where everything is very violent and very difficult, I am honored to know that someone wants my music to accompany them while they are cooking, on the way. at work or waiting for the teacher at high school to arrive; when people confront me trans younger people, almost children, it moves me a lot that they listen to me and identify with what I do, it comforts me and I think it is the most we should aspire to; Professionally, I want to consolidate a work team and be able to make a living from music, have money for chickpeas, croquettes and tofu, it's not that I'm looking to buy a house or a car, I'm taking it easy,” he explained. .

And at this point, Almaguer She doesn't care how they see her from the outside. “I haven't received much criticism, the band that approaches already knows what they're going for, one or another has arrived by chance and tells me that it's me, that my voice or that the trans We already dominate the world, but I'm not hooked on anything. I imagine that when I am gone, I would like to be remembered for what I did, although what really interests me is to live intensely as I have until now, a little like Frida that he painted with watermelons, right?, that now take on another meaning, that of live life, in my epitaph it will say Viva La Vida”, he concluded.

Stay tuned for Indie Rocks! for more details.
