Tour recap and new music
Barcelona in September was beautiful, packed with thousands of people at the last show: I finished most of the tour dates and it's very exciting to finally have time to dive deep into my ideas and my soul: new music is on the way!
The new songs are going to be very special because they are deeply intimate, just me in my little musical cave built and adapted by and for me: texts and sound design are like a Siamese tree: they are born and grow intrinsically linked.
Doing a first tour in Europe this year was something I didn't imagine, I didn't dream... it happened. Germany, Austria, Italy and Spain.
Music is a power of its own, and it takes you places, wild as the sea, and I feel like it won’t stop surprising me...
It was exciting to do my first shows in cities where people speak Spanish and the feeling of the music expands with the lyrics.
I always wanted the music, the sound alone, to connect and go through people’s feeling first, but the text is another code, another level of emotion and connection!
#GotopoEuTour2024
I'm going on Tour in Europe. In times when i feel that we… we All 🌍 have so many reasons to come together.
The last 4 years feel as if we “humanity”, an interconnected collective, have reached one of those tipping points that come to challenge us every few decades...
I sing, I create energy, i spread kindness and power, I make art because our souls needs to be fed as much as we feed our minds and bodies, in times of intersection, transition, transformation, revolution…
I come in light.
I come in peace.
I come in love and unity.
I come in kindness.
I will update the new dates regularly (above under 'Live'). Keep an eye on:
#GotopoEuTour2024
New "Soccer Anthem" (Billboard)
"There are certain qualities that turn a song into a soccer anthem. First, its sense of euphoria to match the game’s twists, turns and rollercoaster of emotions. Second, the song’s ability to get everyone on their feet. So, it makes sense that “Sacúdete” became the Major League Soccer’s (MLS) pick to soundtrack its latest Our Soccer Is Calling campaign spot."
Gotopo no Brasil
With the support of the Goethe Institute and Musicboard Berlin, I was in Brazil in a residency in the Vila Sur in Salvador de Bahia, working on new songs. I also immerged myself in the local Afro-indigenous cultural scene. The months here are very inspiring, you can't wait to see what will emerge musically here.
Live @ radioeins
I was invited to the live show "studioeins" on radioeins! You can re-listen the interview and my first two songs by following this link. The host Knut Elstermann is such a lovely soul. Many thanks also to the great team of radioeins for this great evening!
"I think pop culture has as much power and influence in society as politics do. In the last decade of Pop culture, I was kind of missing many debates and discussions that I felt we needed to be having, and which can help advance society, and do it probably faster than politics." (Gotopo)
"The Afro-Indigenous-Venezuelan producer is creating bold, brilliant sounds that encourage people to think about the aftermath of colonization." RollingStone US
"...además de revelar su posición frente al machismo, el patriarcado y la discriminación, exploran sus propias raíces africanas e indígenas a través de la mezcla de sonidos folclóricos ancestrales y música moderna electrónica." La Opinion
"The singer/songwriter had cemented her mark as an artist, establishing a unique fusion between folkloric instrumentation and electronic dance music." Latina.com
"Venezuela-born Gotopo is undoubtedly one of the scene’s most exciting new voices." Bandcamp
"Eine indigene Kämpferin aus der Zukunft wacht an einem unbekannten Ort zu seiner unbekannten Zeit auf. Der einzige Hinweis: ein antikes, pre-hispanisches Amulett, das die Beteiligten zum Dance-Battle anstachelt." WDR/Cosmo
Release of my Debut EP
Warriors, my first EP is out! On Bandcamp and all digital platforms 🏄🏾♀️ 🧚🏽♀️
Gotopo goes US
I was invited by the German Embassy in the US and the European Union to the "State of the Arts Night" at the Hirshhorn Museum in DC. Interesting facts: This was my first concert in the US!!! ...and omg, I loved to laugh, cry and dance together with you!
I also took the opportunity to visit and share dope conversations with smart and sensitive people in the radio and TV: we de-constructed the encrypted messages behind my debut album 'Sacúdete'.
Columbiahalle Berlin
I had the honor to be the support act for Bomba Estereo in Berlin as part of their 'Quien viene conmigo World Tour 2022'. The show was sold out (3.4k people). That was a blast!
Video Interview RollingStone
"I had sounds in my head that no one could understand"
After receiving the female producer prize 2022 I was interviewed by the RollingStone Magazine. The Interview is in german. You can read about it here RollingStone.de
Female Producer 2022
I`m honoured to receive this award by Music Women* Germany and Sony Music!
"GOTOPO's highly energetic 'indigenous-futuristic' sound is unique. Her first single production has been featured on international stations like BBC6, and the festival season kicks off for her with a slot at Melt 2022."
Gotopo @ Radio FluxFM
I had so much fun in the Interview and Live performance at Radio FluxFM in Berlin!
"Gotopo fährt mit einem futuristisch experimentellen lateinamerikanischen Soundtrack auf - und hat damit vollen Erfolg. Denn gerade mit einmal drei Veröffentlichungen schafft die [...] Wahlberlinerin es so oft gefeatured zu werden, wie andere nach drei Studioalben."
You can here listen to the Interview here (German language, starts at Minute 12).
Live Performance @ Melt Festival 2022
I was thrilled to play live on the Liquid Jungle Stage @ Melt! Festival 2022
New Single 'Maravilla En La Desgracia'
"As if Gotopo's whispered, almost ASMR like, sultry Latin voice wasn't engaging enough, she is riding an impressive, at times hushed, ultimately thunderous cinematic arrangement from Robot Koch that propels the track into the realms of Latin folk futurism." (theslowmusicmovement.org)
