“I think I’m very punk, but I’m a piece of bread”

Paco León assures that he chose you because he was looking for a Marisol 2.0.

[Ríe] “Because the girl sings, because the girl dances,” Paco joked, referring to ‘Welcome Mr. Marshall’ by Berlanga. I have discovered cinema and I have completely fallen in love, but music is my passion. I am in the moment of finding myself.

For the 18 years?

Because I’m already in real life and not in the ‘fucking’ institute. I have time that I never had before.

What kind of student have you been?

I am quite proud. I have done high school in performing arts and got quite a few good grades. I got a 10 in psychology.

Come on, a self-analysis.

My psychologist told me: “Dora, you are married to music!”. And I tell myself that a lot.

Has music been your protection?

I used to live locked up in my own world, both in the social context and in the love context, but this year I have gone out to explore.

Dora the explorer.

I try to make a place for myself in this curious world. I imagine that responds to my age. I am a very extreme person –all or nothing–, and I must break the shell little by little.

In ‘Rainbow’ someone asks: “Is it a girl or a woman?”

I have always felt much older than I was, surely because of what I have had to live through. They say that I am very mature, but that does not mean that I am still a girl. There are so many things I haven’t experienced!

Listening to lyrics like the one in his bolero ‘Ojos de serpent’, no one would have guessed it.

I go blind, guided by intuition. I just do what I feel like.

She was small and you could already see her soul.

I couldn’t say why. Everything the artist does has to do with his environment. He would say that I write and live from the heart. Although I also eat my head a lot.

In the film, she starts out naive and ends up powerful. The real one where is she?

I like to reveal myself, to be contrary, to touch the balls, to test the limits. I think of myself as very ‘punk’ –because of the music I listen to, because of how I dress–, but I’m a piece of bread.

Has that come as standard?

I am a very transparent person, that to begin with. I can’t do anything that doesn’t feel right to me.

Who do you owe it to?

If I didn’t owe it to myself, it would be a bit sad, wouldn’t it? My father has taught me a lot, a lot, yes; he has paved the way to my passion. But I still owe myself a debt because I want to reach certain goals.

Do you know where you are going?

I’m in sponge mode. I don’t want to use the word ‘cultured’, but it comes to that. Absorb the maximum of music, books, cinema, because that translates into my work. When I feel a little lost it’s cool to see what others were doing (or doing). I’m super curious, all day I’m trying things. That seems to me the most important thing in the world.

That’s fine.

I want to make an album, but calmly. I’m quite reserved – one of those who tell their friends things and little else – but when I bring up a topic, I feel like I’ve just given birth, you know?

Shameful it is not. She poses on the covers as if she has always done it.

Shameful I’m not a hair. I love to pose and I love to talk, when I feel comfortable.

Does talking about the family legacy, about the Bosé-Dominguín, make you uncomfortable?

I’d rather not talk about that.

She is the latest artist in a line of artists.

I prefer to move on to another question.

Let’s talk about his generation, the Z, then.

My generation adapts to apocalyptic times saying: “If tomorrow the world ends, I’ll sweat it. Don’t put the weight on me that I have to save the world, because I haven’t screwed it up.” What I don’t agree with is the social media stuff. It seems to me a very fake place. It sucks a long time. And I value my time very much.
