Fr the Vault Malaspina

And "A primera vista" was born, a song in which she explores, almost in harmony with the soul of this month of May, her experience as a mother after adopting her daughter.

"It's a very personal song," says Gaviria. The lyrics speak about life with her wife and her daughter. "I was nervous. It's like opening the doors wide to my life, but over the years, you become more comfortable with who you are and making the music you want. I'm not interested in creating an artistic persona around my music. Now I'm married (to Alba Lucía Pava), we have our daughter Salomé, and I want people to see who I am."

Precisely, both Alba Lucía and Salomé appear in the video, filmed with images from different periods of the singer's life and other everyday moments of Gaviria with her family.

"I started searching on my phone for recordings, but almost everything was in vertical format. In the end, my mom saved the day because she had some moments recorded in horizontal format with her phone. I used to tease her before, but thank God she never paid attention to me. There were images of the beach and a visit to a park, among others, and they saved the video.

"A primera vista" is beautiful and catchy. "It captures the everydayness of life, how someone comes into your life and changes it, along with the message that families can be different, and the only thing we're focused on is loving our children," says Inés Gaviria, who has already written other songs for her daughter: "Yo me llamo Salomé" and "Pandeyuca pa' mi Salo," her 'little one's' favorite food. And while she prepares more songs, she answered our "Sound Questionnaire."

I participated in many festivals and other events, but I would say my first concert was a huge challenge. It was opening for Ricardo Arjona at the time, at the El Campín covered coliseum.
