DUENDITA OPEN EYES
Hailing from Queens, and splitting her time between NY and Berlin, duendita, otherwise known as Camacho, is a soul artist who was encouraged creatively "not so that I could be something, but so I could be OK". Camacho is Puerto Rican-American and Afro-Latinx, who addresses both race and gender politics in her music. She's just released a stunning new track 'Open Eyes', which is part of Mexican Summer's Looking Glass series. Submerged in church-like reverb, duendita's unchained vocals fuse with spine-tingling piano. Skippy drumming creates an engaging rhythm for Stevie Wonder-style synth to lay across. Toward the end of the track, the production becomes increasingly experimental, with synth taking the lead, and duendita's vocals becoming chopped and warped. Check it out here! -Ellie Rose-Davies
