QUÍTAME LAS SOGAS

Quítame las sogas is a musical project developed as an introspective study of the artist’s queer identity and its controlled liberation. Through five audio pieces and one video piece, the artist embraces a precarious way of musical expression that relies on physical and digital improvisation. It expands onto themes of generational faith, oppressed bodies, freedom and condemnation.

The project embraces queerness as a source of empathy that weaves individual lives with the intention to strengthen a shared need for liberation. Through continuous statements, Alfredo Zapata De Jesús shields his queer presence from the gaze of the world, while vulnerably inviting it to test its strength.
