The song comes from a project that unites five composers in favor of a cause
Strength and sensitivity are not contradictory things – and walk side by side in the life of women. Is what proves BirdThe new single of the singer, singer -songwriter and multi -instrumentalist of San Paolo, published this Friday (25) on digital platforms.
With a solar atmosphere and a wide energy, the song touches deep themes such as ancestors, intergenerational relationships and femininity. In addition, it derives from the union of different composers in a project that aims to face inequalities in the music sector.
In the universe of music, where art should be synonymous with freedom, alarming data reveal a cruel reality: Women face enormous barriers of machismo, both on stage and behind the scenes. It was a way to position yourself against this scenario Femark He collected five composers of the emerging generation of the new MPB for a dive on topics such as female, ancestors, enhancement and liberation.
The singers and composers originate in three Brazilian states (Sao Paulo, Bahia and Rio de Janeiro), different breeds, social conditions and sexual guidelines. Six songs was born of this composition field – among these Bird.
“The concept of the project was born from the desire to revisit our female origins to understand better in the present and therefore be able to walk towards the future with intentionality. A real exercise of liberation”. explain Femarkwho dedicated the song to his mother.
“It was the great starting point for me to start understanding many things about my family. In the past, our relationship was quite complex, but in time, I understood the strength and courage that have marked her transformation journey. So this song is dedicated to her and all the women of my antena, which somehow have paved the way so that today it can express myself freely, recognizing in me and in my return, to my independence and to the independence power and my independence. reveals.
At this moment when you go to your way, Femark You want your music to have an impact on the next generations in terms of visibility and acceptance of different women’s expressions. The artist says he would like Bird I could go beyond the song, correctly.
By the knowledge of the studies published by Brazilian union of composers (UBC), in 2024, his desire to give visibility to women of different ages and powers was born in a project that was 100% female.
UBC is one of the main associations responsible for managing and transferring copyright revenue to artists, accumulated in the media such as radio, TV, shows, digital, among others. And, according to the study, Women received only 10% of copyright revenues distributed in 2024That is, 90% were directed to men.
Influencing this data is the fact that Only 17% of the people recorded at the base of the UBC are women. Among the 100 members at the highest copyright income, only 13 are women. The first woman to be mentioned in the figure of the list in the 21st position.
According to data from Ibge (2022) 42.1% of Brazilian women reside in South -estwhile 27.2% live North -est. However, the southern -Eastern region of Brazil concentrates 61% of the artists recorded at the UBC, while only 16% are north -oriental.
Femark: “So I can be a music producer, a instrumentalist, dream and conquer my space “
These data show persistent gender inequality in musical and audiovisual industries. Promoting female participation in all phases of musical production and evaluating artists of several Brazilian states, Femark Not only does it act against machismo in these areas, but also acts as a reference for other women, encouraging them to pursue careers in music and audiovisual.
“The visibility of women in all the functions of the creative and productive process is essential to inspire and motivate the new generations to break the barriers and follow their talents and passions. I am very interested in presenting this type of project in schools, in seminars. We need this example somewhere.ends Femark.
Femark: strength and sensitivity in the construction of a new female fiction
In these sessions, Femark He developed a dynamic to investigate the genealogical tree of each of the musical and audiovisual partners. The goal was to reflect on what everyone brings from these women who came before, what they would like to continue going to the next generations or other women around and, above all, on what they would like to end up in this generation they live.
“I realized that many of us were the first in our strains to live and travel alone, to have the privilege of cars -with the case, being able to get rid of abusive relationships more easily and so on, starting virtuous cycles in our generation.”The artist said.
Breaking with any stereotypes, Femark He wants to demonstrate that strength and femininity are not opposite but complementary. His approach shows that the power of a message does not depend on the traditionally male characteristics to have an impact, reaffirming that authenticity can be both solid and sensitive.
To a certain extent, Bird It is inheritance. And for FemarkThe courage in the face of the adversities that their ancestors have faced is the greatest of them. This movement for freedom, present in the women of her family, was fundamental for her to build her history and inspire future generations also.
Femark He expects that your attitudes and your choices also work as an example for their daughters and grandchildren, if one day you have them or other women near you, perpetuating this female force.
The entire composition process was captured in the film camera and transformed into a documentary, with a premiere scheduled for the week of the day May 4th.
