VANESA MARTÍN RELEASES ‘HE SIDO’: AN ANTHEM OF FREEDOM, TOLERANCE, AND DIVERSITY FOR LGBTIQ+ PRIDE MONTH

On June 22nd, the artist from Malaga took the stage to kick off Sevilla Pride 2023. Vanesa Martín delivered such a powerful speech that it garnered applause from the entire audience and quickly went viral. To the delight of the attendees, she then performed a newly composed song live, which had been created just one day prior to the highly anticipated opening ceremony. The song received such a positive response and was in such high demand that the artist decided to release it on all her platforms as a special gift for her fans.

Penned by Vanesa Martín herself, the song narrates the journey of an individual who embraces a life of freedom and fearlessly confronts intolerance. With poignant lyrics such as “Pero no me da la gana, si tú quieres me disparas / Llevo las medias bien puestas por si te encuentro de cara / Voy a vivir con la fuerza de quien sabe que se va / Ya no vendrás a callarme, ya no puedes, ya no más” (“But I refuse, shoot if you want, I’ll hold my ground / I wear my armor, ready to face you eye to eye / I’ll live with the strength of one who knows they’re breaking free / No longer will you silence me, no more,”) the powerful chorus stands as a tribute to the LGBTIQ+ community and their ongoing battle for equality.

Produced by Alba Reig, and mixed and mastered by Felipe Guevara, ‘He sido’ stands as an anthem celebrating the essence of free love and the significance of honoring one’s unique journey. The song emphasizes that equality and tolerance transcend restrictive labels, emphasizing the universal nature of these values.

The accompanying video encapsulates the entire creative process and beautifully captures the emotional moments that unfolded on this significant date in Vanesa Martín’s calendar.

After performing in cities and festivals as important as Córdoba, Málaga, and Sevilla (Icónica Fest), Vanesa Martín continues her ‘Placeres y Pecados’ tour, with upcoming performances in Menorca, Albacete, Valencia, and a return to the Wizink Center in Madrid on September 16th.
