About
MOMENTUM
The entire history
What is MOMENTUM for Vela?
“It is a project very full of magic, illusion, joys and setbacks. Learnings.
In short, Momentum is the pure compilation of the dynamics with which I dance with Life. An ode to what I am, what I have been and what I will be "
"A space where I have been able to sow a seed, give it water, light and watch it grow. A proposal from the most intimate of my feelings and thoughts, double between the fantastic and the real. The intangible and what is lived in the skin. "
How does MOMENTUM arise?
“Momentum was born a long time ago, however, I did not know how to shape it or where to start building the path to get to where I want to project myself. The name of the album comes from a dream I had where I was riding a wave and I could see just how the tip of the water silhouette broke to make the current with which I was surfing on a color table like the universe. The album was presented to me before I to him hahaha. I wanted to be able to capture what that -momentum- implies before doing something, feeling something, living something. The vertigo before parachuting, the nerve before giving a first kiss, the spark that ignites when an idea occurs to you, the action that leads to a reaction, that is momentum. From what sparks me. "
What musical genre does MOMENTUM represent?
“The musical proposal is born from what crosses me and shapes me; the fusion. Since I was little, everything in my life has been mixed, and I love it, always a little bit of everything. It fills me up .. It is who I am. "
“The instrumental I wanted to implement was a mixture of analog sounds with technology. I don't know, something like music that you can really play with your hands with your mouth, with your feet. And add the modern, the now, the digital hahaha. I think it is a very eclectic compilation of sounds that are inspired by reggae, the Caribbean, Spanish influence and their guitars, it has a bit of jazz, bossa, funk ... but it sounds different, I don't know, it sounds like Velaviee. There is quite a bit of Spanglish lol the cross of my roots. Very honest and profound lyrics in Spanish, my home. And very catchy and intense lyrics in English, my house. "
How do you think MOMENTUM can impact listeners?
“When we talked about a conceptual line, what really came to my mind It was to be able to translate everything I had in my head to the world and transport it to a plane where we could, regardless of the language, connect with whoever puts their headphones on. I think the most faithful translation is -authenticity-. Tasty rhythms, good melodies, a message. I have always felt a very strong call to share what I have to tell. Not only to accompany those who want to listen but also because of the deep desire to communicate and express myself fully from all my facets, from the right and wrong. I think this proposal is very close to that. "
