Galician Singer's Powerful Message: Why Singing in Her Native Tongue Resonates Globally

Galician Singer Lucía Pérez: ‘Singing in My Native Tongue Connects Me Deeply with My Audience’ Lucía Pérez, a rising star in Galician music, recently shared a powerful message about the importance of her native language. In a short video, filmed in Spain, Pérez discussed the profound connection she feels to her audience when performing her songs in Galician, even internationally. "Singing in Galician, even outside of Galicia, is what resonates most with people," she explained. Pérez also shared a touching personal anecdote. Her favorite word, "arela," reminds her of her grandmother, who always encouraged her to sing. "Ai, que arela sempre tes de cantar!" (Oh, how you always have to sing!), her grandmother would say. This sentiment encapsulates the enduring spirit of Galician culture and the power of language to connect us to our heritage.
