Attawalpa - Presence (2022)

Attawalpa, a.k.a British Peruvian musical maven Luis Felber, has announced the release of his debut album ‘Presence’.

Attawalpa, who recently supported The Rolling Stones at Hyde Park. Today, he’s shared ‘Look Away‘, the new single taken from the upcoming record. “Lyrically, it comes from a feeling I would (and still do) tackle in my day-to-day: the inability to express my feelings in the moment, the inability to say no when I want to say no. It’s a work in progress and people are complex. To sail through life, we have to be honest with our feelings as we get them. Dealing with dissociation most of my life, I find this song to be a good reminder and it all falls under the album title ‘Presence’.

We are not alone and all we have is our ability to make choices”. “The main theme of ‘Presence’ is love, loss and longing”, Luis recalls, “Generally speaking, these 10 songs document how I observe, record and explore my experiences as the world moves through and around me. The songs represent my recent collaborations, limitations, and a subjective sense of humour. These songs connect to the feelings in my body. The general theme of ‘Presence’ is a simple but challenging desire to stay in the present, stay connected and not dissociate from the moment.”
