about

Third Abraxas Project song, dark dance electronic music to shake bodies and minds. Dance. Think. Fight!

The new and forceful Abraxas track, produced again with José Rodríguez at Estudio Antimateria/Moog24, is a hand in hand collaboration with the Mexican cyberpunk performer Espectra Negra, a multifaceted artist and activist known as a ritualistic noise and industrial music producer, body art performer, experimental filmmaker, sound designer, dj, tech-teacher and radio producer. Thanks to her anarchist background, she works constantly in the field of education about and for minorities as well as for artists who want to politised their views. She is also part of the Berlin based zine collective “AHACk: Sarah Connor Has a Dream'' which publishes her written text on technology, transhumanism, feminism, capitalist realism and cyberpunk as a movement of resistance: bit.ly/3aQFMVJ

Both musicians decided to work together after the immediate connection felt when they met in Berlin in 2019, the city where she is actually based for almost two decades now. The result of that encounter is this powerful Techno Body Music song called ‘La maté porque era mía’ [I killed her ‘cause she was mine], inspired by the case of Mexican mother Yesenia Zamudio who raised a strong protest right outside the building where her own daughter was brutally murdered in Mexico City in 2016. Zamudio portraits the loss, frustration and pain of many mothers in the country who are victims of gender based violence up to this day. This track is a strong Ode against femicide, misogyny and violence towards women not only in the context of Mexico, which happens to be one of the most affected countries, but a worldwide phenomenon including Germany and Spain which needs to be addressed since many perpetrators come from all ages, cultures and social backgrounds. Many are people close to the victims such as partners or ex-partners. A serious problem we all need to take action against.

Abraxas is a totally independent and self-managed project halfway between harsh electronic music, philosophical reflection and socio-political activism. Its main goal is to shake bodies and minds by spreading messages of individual and social self-criticism from the point of view of duality, extremes and contradictions, inherent to the human being and capitalist society.

LYRICS (In Spanish, English below)

Yo soy una madre que me mataron a mi hija!
Y si soy una madre empoderada, y feminista
Y estoy que me canga la chingada
Tengo todo el derecho a quemar y a romper!

Dejen de estar lucrando con nuestro dolor
Y si me ven de negro, y si soy muy radical
Y si quemo, y rompo, y hago un pinche despadre en esta ciudad
Cuál es su pinche problema?
A mi me mataron a mi hija!
Yo no soy una colectiva
Ni necesito un tambor, ni necesito un pinche partido político que me represente

MUJERES
ASESINADAS
MUERTAS
VIOLADAS
DESCUARTIZADAS
MUJERES
TIRADAS
MUJERES
DESAPARECIDAS

Ya no señores!
Se les acabó!
Ya rompimos el silencio!
Y no les vamos a permitir que hagan un maldito circo de nuestro dolor!
Y si van a hablar, hablen de todas
Hablen de todas las que acosan y violan los maestros y los servidores públicos
A las que vierten ácido
Hablen de las niñas que violan en sus cunas sus propios padres y
Sus familias se quedan callados
Porque la religión católica se lo permite

MUERTAS
VIOLADAS
ABUSADAS
DESCUARTIZADAS
MUJERES!

No le voy a pedir permiso a nadie porque yo estoy rompiendo por mi hija
Y la que quiera romper, que rompa, y la que quiera quemar, que queme
Y la que no, que no nos estorbe!

EL DOLOR FEMENINO!
EL DOLOR DE LA MADRE TIERRA!
MUERTAS!

Y la que no, que no nos estorbe!

ASESINADAS!
MUJERES!

Ni una más, ni una más, ni un asesinato más!
Ni una más, ni una más, ni un asesinato más!
Ni una más, ni una más, ni un asesinato más!

ENGLISH

I am a mother whose daughter was brutally murdered!
I am an empowered mother, a feminist.
I am fucking angry and very upset.
And I have the right to burn down and smash!

Stop profiting from our pain
If they see me wearing black and think I am too radical.
If they see me burning down, smashing and making a father fucking mess in this city,
What's your fucking problem?
They murdered my daughter!
I am not a collective.
I don't need a drum, I don't need a fucking political party that represents me.

WOMEN
MURDERED
DEAD
RAPED
DISMEMBERED
WOMEN
THROWN AWAY
WOMEN
MISSING

No longer gentlemen!
This must stop!
We have already broken the silence!
We are not going to allow them to make a damn circus of our pain!
And if they are going to talk, you better talk about all of them.
Talk about all those women harassed and rape by their teachers.
Talk about all those public servants.
Talk about all those men pouring acid on women.
Talk about all the little girls raped by their own fathers meanwhile their families remain silent because their Catholic religion does not allow them to speak out!

DEAD
RAPED
ABUSED
DISMEMBERED
WOMEN!

I'm not going to ask anyone for permission.
I am smashing everything on the name of my murdered daughter.
And the woman who wants to join and smash as protest, just do it!
And the ones who want to burn down, just do it!
And those who don’t, at least don't get on the way!

MURDERED
WOMEN
THE FEMALE PAIN!
THE PAIN OF OUR MOTHER EARTH!
DEATH!


MURDERED!
WOMEN!

Not one [woman] less, not one less, not one more murdered!
Not one less, not one less, not one more murdered!
Not one less, not one less, not one more murdered!
