losiento – “holy water (dulce)” | Celebrating the Stories That Make Us a Community

A community is shaped by the losses, changes, and small victories of the people who belong to it. In “holy water (dulce),” losiento gathers memories of growing up in Denver, Colorado, within the Chicano and Mexican American experience. Written in Spanglish, the song connects stories of friendship, identity, family struggles, and new beginnings, recognizing what remains as life changes: the people who stand beside us.

Holy water becomes a shared symbol connecting experiences that might otherwise seem distant, from grief and self-acceptance to parenthood and the search for stability. Rather than isolating these moments, losiento brings them together as part of a collective memory in which hardship does not cancel out the possibility of celebration. Gratitude emerges not from having a perfect life, but from recognizing the relationships that helped make its most difficult moments survivable.

Between Latin Indie Folk and Soul

The composition blends Latin indie folk and soul influences with bilingual writing that reflects the coexistence of different cultural identities. Individual stories converge around a shared refrain, while a gospel choir and an expansive finale strengthen the song’s communal spirit. Written, produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by the artist in a home studio in Estado de México, the track maintains an intimate perspective before opening into collective celebration.

Finding Sweetness in an Imperfect Story

Its conceptual counterpart, “holy water (agri),” revisits parallel stories from a more bitter perspective. On “dulce,” the focus shifts toward the relationships that make joy possible even amid difficulty. Losiento transforms personal memory into a shared space of belonging, reminding us that gratitude also means recognizing those who helped make our stories possible.

SEKTOR VOLTAGE: "En Otra Dimensión", Post-Punk, Distopía y Escape Subconsciente | Entrevista – R+

Nos enlazamos a Buenos Aires con Nicolás de Sektor Voltage para hablar de "En Otra Dimensión", un álbum que fusiona post-punk, darkwave y ritmo motorik para retratar la distopía cotidiana: la dependencia digital, la sobreinformación y la máquina que no para. Nicolás nos cuenta cómo pasó de DJ a músico para incluir la guitarra como "sangre humana" en su electrónica, y cómo el subconsciente y los sueños son su vía de escape. Una charla sobre autenticidad, ansiedad y hacer música sin perseguir el éxito.https://sektorvoltage.bandcamp.com/album/en-otra-dimensi-nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9hQcJAlDR8https://www.instagram.com/sektor_voltage/
