Ely López's balcony: a stage to cheer on her neighbors

20 March 2020 - 00: 05

Neither Facebook nor Instagram nor Twitter. The most popular social network in these times of crisis are patios, streets, which we access through balconies or physical windows, which are not digital.

That is where we now connect with the rest of society. Also where we give free rein to our art as a solidarity initiative. This is the case of Ely López, a dianense neighbor and former contestant of Tu Cara No Me Suena Still and La Voz. She, like many others, has turned her balcony into a stage with which to entertain her neighborhood through music.

«Surgió tras volver a entrar a casa el primer día que salimos a nuestras ventanas a aplaudir. Me recorrió un escalofrío tan emocionante que decidí aportar para el día siguiente sin pensarlo un granito de arena más, la música. Yo la llamo medicine for the soul and as I dedicate myself to it and I have the sound system at home I said to myself, let's do it. Why do I do it? Because in moments as critical as this, all we need is to light the way for us in some way. Remind us that everything is going to be fine and forget about everything bad for a little while. So I have decided to keep going out and make the days more bearable, Ely López tells us.

«Me mantiene ocupada y con ilusión de preparar algo bonito para cada tarde y eso hace que vuele el tiempo. También, sentirme reconfortada al entrar en casa y recibir el calor de los vecinos que agradecen lo que estás haciendo sin ninguna finalidad más que animarles. Lo inesperado de todo esto es que a la gente le está gustando y me están ayudando a crecer e, incluso, a que me escuchen y conozcan personas que no sabían que existían en la zona. Sacaré mucho en positivo de toda esta vivencia y una vez más reafirmo: la música es poderosa».
