Zahara is one of the most beloved artists on the music scene in our country. The performer of songs like Tú me transportes or Con las Ganas is in a very good moment on a professional level, since she has achieved her first nomination for the Latin Grammys with her album REPUTA, which has managed to sneak into the candidates for 'Best Album by Alternative music'. In one of her last appearances before the press, the artist opened up about one of the hardest episodes of her life.
This nomination has been a great surprise for the artist, as she herself revealed before the Europa Press microphones. Zahara received the news "with disbelief and with shaking at these thoughts that I have always had very negative about the music industry and how it is impossible to access the high peaks if you do not come from a major record company or a major label." However, she feels happy for everything she has achieved.
And all her successes have come from effort and dedication, something of which she feels very proud. "Having managed to put a little foot in this world, it seems like a complete success and an achievement just with this nomination, I already feel rewarded, honestly," expressed the DOLORES interpreter. And neither her professional career nor her personal life have been easy at all, as she herself revealed to the aforementioned medium.
In an act of sincerity, the singer opened up about the abuse she suffered when she was only twelve years old. Something that has inevitably marked her life. "It was an event so wild, so brutal, so disgusting, so disgusting, that it happens at an age when you have no tools to manage it, it had generated a trauma in me that I had internalized with guilt," he expressed to the media. The artist assures that the first step to face that pain was "to make it public through songs, it helps me understand it and feel capable of doing it, to feel that courage that perhaps I had not felt before to make it literal."
Music was his main way of channeling his pain, and thanks to it he felt strong to tell the facts to his family. "After the song. I made the album first and once the album was made, I felt protected by the song and I can now tell my life, that life that you don't know," she expressed. "That stain has always lived with me and I still have it, what has changed is how I relate to that stain, to that pain, as something that I no longer hide, that I do not hide, that does not make me feel bad, but is part of of me," he explained to the media.
The artist assures that she accepts the pain she has suffered after the episode that marked her entire life. "I am a damaged being and I accept it and take care of it instead of getting angry with him, treating him worse, blaming him, for which he has none," she said. The artist wanted to highlight how important it is to communicate these cases to the closest environment. "I just think that when you keep quiet about something, which is what I've always done. I've kept quiet all my life, you end up protecting your aggressor and when you tell it and make it public," the singer stated.
On the other hand, and leaving her personal life aside, the artist spoke about one of the topics of the moment: Shakira's attacks on her ex-partner, Gerard Piqué, through music. The Colombian is receiving a lot of criticism, something that Zahara wanted to comment on. "When these Shakira songs come out where some people said 'oh, this is it'. Everyone makes songs about what they have, about what they feel and the process of writing them also helps in your own construction and healing," stated the artist. , nominated for the Latin Grammys.
