Many of us here in the Bay have witnessed your steady rise. Tell us about that.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s been a wild ride for sure. Having grown up in a musical household to parents who were cultural workers and professional musicians, they always told me to get a union job with benefits. And my trajectory has been far different than what I had expected. I never really anticipated being a solo artist of this caliber. So it\u2019s been exciting and unexpected and full of tons of twists and turns. I think that beginning as \u2018La Do\u00f1a,\u2019 I didn\u2019t really anticipate for it to move outside of a community-based project \u2014 which it still is. But I didn\u2019t expect the audience that I currently have. And then once upon my introduction to the music industry \u2026 it took me a little bit to decide where exactly I wanted to go with the project. At first, I was like, \u2018Yea, I\u2019m riding for Frisco. This is for the Homegirls and the Gays and the Theys.\u2019 And then I was like, \u2018Whoa \u2026 This [pop music industry] is crazy, it\u2019s not for me. It seems pretty exploitative and dangerous for the artist. For the individual artist, especially a young woman of color.\u2019 So I kind of stepped back a little bit from functioning in that capacity and in those spaces. And now, I feel complete inspiration, overwhelming love and, ultimately, freedom to do the project exactly how I want.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When did you experience this exploitative side of the music industry?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s a complicated question because part of being an independent artist is not alienating different parties in the industry. So I can\u2019t super go into detail about that. But I will say that once COVID hit, the whole industry kind of took a pause. And I took a pause. I was really able to calibrate and to reassess what my mission was with the project. I think that moment of deep introspection gave me the faith to really decide what I wanted the project to look like and who I wanted to be involved with it. So during that time, I started again making music and touring and being out and friends with the public. But I would say that this is the first time that I feel I\u2019m integrating all of the different facets of my musicality and of my musical history. And to have a really supportive fanbase that really upholds and uplifts us as a touring band is important. I think that my getting the fellowship with the California Arts Commission this year, tying in my recording work as well as my educational work is really validating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"968\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona-Paloma-Press-3-Credit_-Thalia-Gochez-6_web.jpg?resize=1200%2C968&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona-Paloma-Press-3-Credit_-Thalia-Gochez-6_web.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona-Paloma-Press-3-Credit_-Thalia-Gochez-6_web.jpg?resize=310%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 310w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona-Paloma-Press-3-Credit_-Thalia-Gochez-6_web.jpg?resize=595%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 595w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona-Paloma-Press-3-Credit_-Thalia-Gochez-6_web.jpg?resize=768%2C620&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona-Paloma-Press-3-Credit_-Thalia-Gochez-6_web.jpg?resize=400%2C323&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cecilia Cassandra Pe\u00f1a-Govea \u2014 known by her fans as La Do\u00f1a \u2014 is set to release her latest EP, \u2018Can\u2019t Eat Clout,\u2019 this September.

Tell us about that.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Paloma No Vuelve Amar\u2019 is the first single off of the upcoming EP, \u2018Can\u2019t Eat Clout.\u2019 This song is really special to me because it draws on the influence I had growing up of Vallenato and Cumbia, especially Lisandro Meza and how his melody writing and harmonic writing and storytelling really impacted me as a songwriter. So \u2018Paloma No Vuelve Amar\u2019 is about heartbreak, it\u2019s about somebody who is experiencing this emotional rupture \u2014 this breaking apart from another person or from an industry or from whatever it might be. And they\u2019re finding themselves back where they started and in this transformative state. It goes through the pain of the heartbreak, the redirection of la Paloma, the physical transformation and what\u2019s most special to me about the song is that it calls in and creates space for Rumba Afro Cubana, and that for me is such a pure form of collective mourning and of celebration. To feature Sergio Oriache and Esai Salas on their instruments, but also feature the large <em>coro<\/em>, which is at the root of what I love about music. What\u2019s exciting for me to present to you all are some illustrations that Alyssa Aviles is doing in conjunction with the releases. So to see her beautiful visual interpretation of Paloma and of the different tracks, I think it\u2019s going to be very impactful. But just for my own journey, it\u2019s going to be \u201clo m\u00e1s grande,\u201d a huge moment for me in my journey and in my healing too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona_encuentro_1208-96_web.jpeg?resize=1200%2C800&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona_encuentro_1208-96_web.jpeg?w=1200&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona_encuentro_1208-96_web.jpeg?resize=360%2C240&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona_encuentro_1208-96_web.jpeg?resize=600%2C400&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona_encuentro_1208-96_web.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona_encuentro_1208-96_web.jpeg?resize=400%2C267&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cecilia Cassandra Pe\u00f1a-Govea \u2014 known by her fans as La Do\u00f1a \u2014 performs at Acci\u00f3n Latina\u2019s Encuentro del Canto Popular at the Chapel on Dec. 8, 2019.

You have an upcoming live performance at Outside Lands. Tell us about that.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I first want to thank you for acknowledging the effort I put behind performing. It\u2019s true. There are a lot of different ways for an artist to excel. And coming up primarily as a performing musician, of traditional music, my performances \u2026 like that is the moment that brings me back to music again and again and again. Through all of the hurdles, the obstacles, that feeling of ceremony when you\u2019re with the audience, that is the most important part of the whole project. And a lot goes into that. I\u2019ll be taking a full-live 10-piece band to Outside Lands. No track, no digital production. And we will be playing soo much music. I\u2019ve designed the set to touch on all of the different styles, dare I say, that I delve into. We\u2019ll be playing reggaeton, hip-hop, the new unreleased music, oldies, maybe throwing in some rancheras, some mariachi classics, so I have a lot on the bill. And I\u2019m just so excited to get the whole band together and show the people that music that\u2019s contemporary and that\u2019s coming out right now, it doesn&#8217;t have to follow this rigid prescription. I\u2019m thankful for the support of my bandmates, community and musical collaborators to really break free of that mold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona_1208-92_web.jpg?resize=1200%2C800&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-57231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona_1208-92_web.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona_1208-92_web.jpg?resize=360%2C240&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona_1208-92_web.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona_1208-92_web.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/La-Dona_1208-92_web.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cecilia Cassandra Pe\u00f1a-Govea \u2014 known by her fans as La Do\u00f1a \u2014 performs at Acci\u00f3n Latina\u2019s Encuentro del Canto Popular at the Chapel on Dec. 8, 2019.
