TATAMI It is a song to a more common story than is told, a difficult event that many families experience throughout their lives. If they love each other, why do they hurt each other? A question that any boy or girl could ask themselves when having a complicated relationship close to them, full of toxicity and confrontations. Children, young people or adults. The development of TATAMI unites lyrics and melody, with an apparently calm beginning that increases in intensity as the song progresses and the apparent anger of his interpretation. It begins as a message and continues as a reproach, as a need to tell something that has been inside for a long time. TATAMI It is a song that many appreciate hearing and that Paula Cendejas expresses by giving voice to so many boys and girls who, regardless of their age today, at some point wanted to scream.

TATAMI hurts. AVAILABLE MARCH 8đź’”presented The Cendejas his new song along with the first verses of the song, possibly the ones that most define the story and the most complicated to write, dedicated to his parents. “Dad, you talk to God more than to mom, the church is more your home than your real home, I want to tell you that I learned from you what I don’t want, even so I love you“, the topic begins, to continue with a message that leaves nothing in doubt: “Mommy, the damage you do to each other, you do to me, I’m focused on winning a Grammy, while you fighting him, he fighting you, like judoka on tatami”

The artist releases this very special song on 8M, coinciding with International Women’s Day, thus thanking each of those who have been part of her life for being part of this project in the form of a song: “TATAMI It’s out, I don’t know where to start. First, I want to thank every woman who has inspired me without them knowing it., starting with my mother, my sister, my manager, so many artists…, this song today also sees the light thanks to them. A brave woman is the one who makes people uncomfortable, she is the one who fights to be as sincere as possible with herself, even if that path goes through dark places that we don’t like to look at. TATAMI It is one of them. Surviving a family is not easy because it will always be part of you, and seeing it as a learning experience is the great challenge of my life. @merycendejas This is also part of you and I love you with my life. I hope that TATAMI means to you at least a little of what this song means to me. 🤍”

The video clip, produced by Phoskifilms and directed by Martina Hache reflects the message in two sequences and three characters: two judokas fighting on a tatami and Paula herself, expressing each verse of the song, transmitting what she was really looking for.

The support of his sister, Mery Cendejas

The love that Paula has for her sister, Mery Cendejasis also present in the song when he says that, despite everything, that relationship gave him his sister MarĂ­a: “I would kill for her,” he sings.

TATAMI is to go to, TATAMI It’s pain, TATAMI It’s rage, TATAMI It is anguish, TATAMI It’s listening to it and making my skin crawl even if you don’t even feel identified. It is an emotional tsunami, it is our history, it is reliving it in its entirety. TATAMI it is eternal“, expressed Mery Cendejas by sharing the song on their Instagram stories.
