FELISA, La Biografía

Por Paco Funegra
Felisa Herrera o simplemente Felisa es una cantante y liricista nacida en Denver, Colorado, pero de fuertes raices mexicanas. Poseedora de una amplia variedad de influencias musicales y de una voz privilegiada, Felisa es capaz de interpretar géneros diametralmente opuestos, desde ópera clásica hasta reggaeton, desde rancheras hasta rap, desde folklore latinoamericano hasta el género pop o la música más sofisticada. Sin embargo, su espíritu musical, movido por una fuerza e inspiración principal que es Dios y la vida en sí, la ha guiado a expresar sus vivencias, experiencias y deseos a través de sus dos géneros predilectos: el Hip-Hop y R&B. El español es su lenguaje nativo, dada la influencia de sus padres nacidos en Chihuahua, México. El inglés, por otro lado, lo ha hablado desde siempre. Es por eso que en la música que escribe e interpreta siempre crea una mezcla indisoluble entre español e inglés, que demuestra lo mestizo de su cultura. Sus primeras experiencias con la música las vivió desde la escuela elemental. Ya desde los dos años sus padres notaron su amplio amor por la música. Sus presentaciones en shows de talento era el pan de cada día, pero fue hasta después de la escuela intermedia, entre los catorce y diecisiete años, que reconoció su verdadera vocación. Inicialmente cantaba para la iglesia, con grupos de hip-hop. De ahí su preferencia por este género. Sus presentaciones se hicieron habituales en Colorado, siempre cantando a Dios, en diferentes iglesias del estado, y con grupos de jóvenes de su edad. Durante este proceso de descubrimiento y transición, siempre contó con el apoyo de su familia y amigos. En este apoyo incondicional encontró la inspiracion que la llevó a sumergirse en el mundo de la lírica. Comenzó a escribir acerca de sus vivencias, experiencias, alegrias, tristezas, familia y amigos, pero principalmente acerca de Dios, convirtiéndose en la propia narradora de su música. A los veintitres años se aventuró por primera vez a sacar su música a las calles, fuera de las iglesias. Comenzó a escribir de manera más seria, y se sumergió de lleno en alcanzar el sueño de repartir su herencia hispana a la comunidad que la rodeaba. La gente en la calle fue la perfecta receptora de su poesía musical y esto le sirvió de impulso para decidirse a profesionalizar su carrera. Su primer trabajo, "Sacrificios", CD sacado al mercado a mediados del 2005, es una muestra clara de sus influencias. Canciones como "Esta Noche" marcaron un nuevo rumbo en las preferencias musicales locales. Para su mala fortuna, en su camino encontró obstáculos, penas, decepciones y una que otra frustración. El camino le enseñó, y le enseñó bien a Felisa. Sin embargo, en ningun momento vió mermado su deseo de salir adelante. Felisa por el contrario, agradece el haber vivido estos malos días, que estos hayan quedado en el pasado, pero sobretodo haber sido capaz de rescatar lo mejor: la experiencia. Felisa reinicia nuevamente su camino a los 26 años, creyendo y sabiendo. Se reencuentra con su público, en presentaciones alrededor de Colorado. Se rodea de verdaderos amigos, que le ayudan a afianzar su camino, a focalizar sus ideas y a empezar a creer nuevamente en el futuro. Su lírica mejora, su música tiene una fuerte influencia de Jill Scott, pero con una aún más fuerte tendencia a mezclar sus raíces hispanas. A pesar de sus fuertes raíces catolicas, Felisa no ha tenido miedo en experimentar su espiritualidad y ver la vida a su propio modo. Al preguntársele cual es la primera canción que recuerda cantar de niña y que le haya dejado huella, su respuesta es Can you Reach my Friend (Puedes alcanzar a mi amigo), una canción que narra cómo es que todos y cada uno de nosotros necesita en algún momento un hombro sobre el cual llorar. Es con esta demostración de sensibilidad que Felisa confirma su vocación de siempre. Ella dice Si Dios me dió una pizca de talento, que éste sea usado para repartir paz y bien entre quienes dedican parte de su tiempo a escucharme. Su espiritualidad y bondad ha quedado demostrada en la relación que lleva con las personas que la rodean, y que ven una fuerza y talento insuperables en ella. Ninguno de aquellos cercanos a su música espera menos que el resurgimiento de una estrella en el firmamento musical.

FELISA, The Bio

By Paco Funegra
Felisa Herrera, or simply, Felisa, is a Denver born vocalist and lyricist with strong Mexican roots. A wide variety of musical influences and her incredible voice have been the perfect combination to allow her to perform even totally opposite musical genres, from classic opera to reggaeton, from rancheras to rap, from Latin-American folklore to the most sophisticated jazz. However, her musical spirit, moved by the strength and inspiration of God and life itself, has encouraged her express her experiences through two of her favorite genres: Hip Hop and R&B. Felisa learned her native language of Spanish from her parents, originally from Chihuahua, Mexico. But having spent her life here in the United States, English has been her everyday language. Her diverse background is evident in her music, as she writes and performs an inseparable mix of both languages. Her parents noticed her penchant for music from the young age of two, and Felisa started performing in talent shows as early as elementary school. At age fourteen, she begun to sing for church groups, whose music styles strongly resembled hip-hop. For the next several years, she had found her niche singing to God in different churches across the state of Colorado. It was during this time that she also discovered the world of lyricism. She started writing about her positive life experiences, her challenges and struggles, her family and friends, but mainly about God. She was conveying her story through her own music. Then, at age 23, she took a chance and shared her music beyond the churches. People were receptive, so with much dedication and hard work, she was able to release her first album in 2005. It was a long road, with many obstacles and a few disappointments along the way, but her album, "Sacrificios", with songs like Esta Noche, was well received and set the stage for new local music preferences. Felisa learned a great deal from her early experiences, and she brings them with her as she continues her journey on the musical path. Now 26 years old, Felisa knows that something huge is about to happen. She has rejoined her fans, and is performing again throughout Colorado. Her song writing abilities are improving, and she is surrounded by positive people who help her to believe in herself and stay focused on her goals. Her music is now heavily influenced by one of her favorite artists, Jill Scott, but she still incorporates a nice mix of Spanish and English in her songs. When asked what the first song was that she remembers singing when she was a child, she recalls the song "Can you reach my Friend". This song talks about how all of us, at some point of our lives, need a shoulder to cry on. Keeping true to this notion, she tries to use her music as a way to provide comfort and joy to her listeners. She says, "God gave me the gift of my voice; so I will use it to bring peace and good to whomever listens to my music". Her spirituality and kindness is recognized by everyone who surrounds her and they all see her strength and talent.
