Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom, who taught me how to travel, sing, be on stage, sleep anywhere in the world (including couches, bus stations, trucks and floors), folk dance, think, speak various languages, adapt to any cultural situation, and so much more (note the normal things like cooking and cleaning aren’t listed, but you can learn that from anyone!) love you Mom. . . . These pix are from Ventanas’ video shoot at @pedestriansundays , Mom’s first pop show @rosalia.vt , my fam including my maternal granny top left, same old as a kid and 25 years later lol, Madrid, Galicia field recording, old album cover, Jerusalem and some castle somewhere.

Loving this shot from la Feria de Sevilla a few years ago right at this time of year. It was the economic crisis at the time so the saying went β€œla bici es el caballo de la crisis” aka β€œthe bike is the horse of the crisis” so we rode our bikes to the fair instead of fancy decked out horses 🐎 and it worked just fine for us! Also congrats to my stunningly gorgeous inside and out hermana @sassa.wassa on her role in Carmen - ole tu te lo mereces que mΓ‘s flamenca que tu no hay!!! Oh and that dress was 15 euros on the street lol!
