SARA CURRUCHICH
Being a woman in Guatemala is an act of resistance. Being a Mayan Kaqchikel woman and an artist is, in itself, a political statement, but also a radical gesture towards life and it would be the best way to present Sara Curruchich.
Sara Curruchich was born in 1993 in San Juan Comalapa, Chimaltenango, in a Kaqchikel community in the Guatemalan central highlands. Her people have a long tradition of art and knowledge, but also with a great strength of resistance and struggle. From that account, her musical project is based on the collective and individual feelings of the peoples, history, memory, culture, languages, and struggles combined with personal claim.
Sara Curruchich / Spanish Bio
Cantautora indígena kaqchikel
Ser mujer en Guatemala es un acto de resistencia. Ser mujer maya kaqchikel y artista es, en sí mismo, una declaración política, pero también un gesto radical hacia la vida y sería la mejor forma de presentar a Sara Curruchich.
Sara Curruchich nació en 1993 en San Juan Comalapa, Chimaltenango, en una comunidad kaqchikel del altiplano central guatemalteco. Su pueblo es de una larga tradición de arte y conocimiento, pero también con una gran fuerza de resistencia y lucha. De esa cuenta, su propuesta musical se basa en el sentir colectivo e individual de los pueblos, la historia, la memoria, la cultura, los idiomas y las luchas combinadas con la reivindicación personal.
