I make music for my hopes and dreams.
And it would rob me of my dreams if I made it in any other way,
That wasn't hand made from raw materials,
by hand.
with purpose,
with intention,
artisanally.
My way.
I am Camilo.
I make music.
I write songs.
I form bridges between the lives of others.
We're in the Palacio of San Francisco,
in the center of Bogota.
I'd never been here before.
So before we began to record, I took a tour and checked out every little corner.
We are here talking about what I'm most proud of in my life.
Which is my album, 'Mis Manos'.
It's a special day for me to be able to present it.
This is an album that is written, produced, recorded, played,
...scribbled, plucked, sweat, closed, drawn...
and delivered with my hands.
My hands,
the instruments that have helped me bring out all that is inside me,
and turn it into a soundtrack made up of real situations,
of real lives, real people, who I don't always know personally.
My tribe can expect from this album, what I've promised since the beginning...
which is honesty.
With this album,
they can expect to feel seen,
with different parts of their lives
that needed signaling.
These songs are not a product,
every song is a part of me.
It is every little corner of me.
'Machu Picchu' is named 'Machu Picchu' because of the lyrics
where it says...
"I have more ruins than Machu Picchu...
and how is it that you noticed something that was everything but a piece of art."
From the surprise of Evaluna being a celestial space, and me identifying more with ruins,
I don't understand why she's with me.
I'm a little crazy, but she's crazier for choosing to stay with me.
Love is the biggest of all revolutions.
And these songs, especially in moments like these, where we need it most,
serve as a reminder to love those close to us.
To remember to express ourselves.
If my songs serve as an excuses to express that,
my purpose is fulfilled.
In this album, I'm reaffirming and trusting what was just a subtle
suspicion in my first Album.
To trust in what I have.
I learned that in this album. And I reinforced it.
I suspected it before,
but in this album I took the leap forward to trust in myself.
