Coldplay returns to Peru after seven years and this time as part of his “Music of the spheres” tour at the National Stadium. Initially, it was confirmed that the opening act for the event would be Camila Cabello, however, a few days ago, it was revealed that Andrea Martínez, a Peruvian artist, will also have the opportunity to share the stage with these music giants.
The ‘acid pop’ singer sees this step as a dream come true, as she considers that the path to growth in the industry is difficult due to local stations that do not broadcast new national talents, among other obstacles.
Learn in this note more about Andrea Martinezoriginally from the district of Carabayllo who, despite the difficulties in her career, continues to work to reach more people with her music.
She appreciates the opportunity to open for the Coldplay concert
Recognized in the independent scene in Lima, Andrea Martínez takes a big step in her career by being chosen as the national opening act for the Coldplay concert this September 13 and 14 at 7:00 pm, confirmed by Artes Perú.
“I can’t believe that after having started my musical path in Carabayllo, I am now about to play on the same stage together with performers of the stature of Chris Martin and Camila Cabello,” he tells NTeve.
Andrea Martínez, better known as ‘Queen of Peruvian pop’
It is called the ‘Queen of peruvian pop’. In each album he seeks to capture “the aesthetics” of Peru. “Include where I am from, what I have heard since I was a child. Suddenly one day it makes me want to do a funky pop, a funky rock, but another day I want to do a cumbia, “she said in an interview with The Republic.
Singer-songwriter Andrea Martínez likes to experiment with various musical genres, but in general she calls her music ‘acid pop’, which has a peculiar meaning.
“My expression at the time of recording and going on stage is like acid. So, using an analogy of when you eat lemon, it’s good, but you make a face, saying, ‘Oh! How intense!’. Well, that’s how I see my music,” he explains.
Denounces lack of support for national artists
Andrea Martínez is aware that growth on music platforms is vital for doors to open. “Sometimes it stresses me out, because you need to be big on these social networks to get a ball at such a festival, if you don’t have that many numbers, you don’t get in”express.
He comments that, on occasions, festivals rejected it for not being well known enough. “They have told me without telling me. They put people who only have one song, who is more of an influencer than a singer.”
Along the same lines, the interpreter of “Curar” criticizes the lack of diffusion on the radio and denies that this sector supports new artists.
“Their business is so closed that they don’t realize that they can do business with new music, which can be very profitable, they can make idols, big artists and people will consume it,” he said.
about his music
The Lima performer released her album “Drama” in July 2020 and was very well received. Her music, created together with her brother, inspires a mixture of nostalgia and energy that intertwines with various rhythms and a personal stamp. “In all my albums I want to do that, include aesthetics from my country, where I’m from”.
One of his most significant productions is “The fruits will rain” (2020), from his first album. “It is a song that flirts with urban deeps and has caporales, everything is quite a Peruvian environment, and where it has a letter that identifies me a lot that says: ‘What am I doing planning, if it won’t turn out the same, What am I doing thinking that everything will fit, my hands tremble, the fruits of my sky will rain’. It is a letter that goes perfectly with these times”, he refers to The Republic.
