BRUJAS!
The ‘Brujas’ EP follows the debut of their exciting hybrid live show at Sonár Istanbul and precedes upcoming performances at Sónar Barcelona, Dekmantel, and Øya Festival. Together, opposing patriarchy, racism, colonialism, capitalism, and immigrant challenges, they joined forces in Olof’s studio, resulting in the creation of the ‘Brujas’ EP, where percussionist and DJ Diva debuts her voice.The ‘Brujas’ single and the entire EP, meaning “Witches,” seek to inspire us to find that powerful ancient energy within ourselves.“I dream of empowering everyone who feels outside the box with my lyrics. It is so sad to see children singing and dancing to music made by male artists whose lyrics degrade women, and on top of that, they win prestigious awards while doing so. I dream of a better world, especially for Latin America, which needs to change the macho perspective and work together for a better world for everyone,” says Diva Cruz.As a percussionist, Diva brings a combination of fierce live percussion together with a rhythmic blend of tunes from all over the world during her energetic DJ sets. She has also been the lead percussionist for both Fever Ray and Robyn on their world tours.Olof Dreijer on the ‘Brujas’ EP: “I’m very excited about sharing this music with the world, especially since it’s been a few years in the making. I’m very grateful to work with Diva. She has shown me a new world of music, and I feel like I keep evolving and learning new things all the time, especially with our new live show when playing percussion together.”
