CANTOS PARA TRANSIÇÕES
K Sea Ya (Kecia) is a multimedia artist, educator, and singer-songwriter born and raised in Brazil and living in California. Since 2023, she has composed and recorded her first album, Cantos para Transições ( Chants for Transitions). In October 2023, she released a single, Crisálida ( Chrysalis ), and Menina Grão in 2024, inspired by her mystical journey and rites of passage from soul to consciousness.
In ‘Menina Grão,’ K Sea Ya takes us on a journey of reflection on the feminine and the ancestral cultural legacy of Minas Gerais, Brazil, where she was born and raised. The music creates a mystical atmosphere, emphasizing the girl's passage into adulthood and delivering the message of “cabocla” wisdom connected to the earth, where a new being emerges. The song, inspired by the musical aesthetics of “congada”, Brazil's cultural and intangible heritage, is a tribute to Brazilian identity and cultural origins.
The single was recorded at Lunik studio in São Paulo, with production and arrangements by Caíto Marcondes and sound engineering by Gian Berselli and Danilo Aurelio. Homero Lotito carried out mixing and mastering. K Sea Ya (voice) was accompanied by Lulinha Alencar (accordion), Shen Ribeiro (flute), Raquel Coutinho (percussion and choir), Priscila Garcia (choir) and Caíto Marcondes (percussion).
The music video for 'Menina Grão, 'directed by K Sea Ya, is a powerful testament to the feminine message and the significant role of women as bearers of knowledge. She shares: "Music transcends the voice, also embracing body movement. In the video, I highlight the feminine message and the important role of women as bearers of knowledge. My work reflects the process of healing and integrating memory and belonging, inspiring my creative expression. Reconnecting with our origins and nature is crucial for the future, and emotional awareness can guide us on this journey."
“Menina Grão,” like the previous single “Crisálida” (2023), will be part of the album “Cantos para Transições” which is currently being produced and promises to be a milestone in the artist’s career.
