June 19th 2017 – The Venezuelan piano player, singer and music writer Marieva Davila, releases the song “Subversivos” (Subversives)
A reflection about the times we’re currently going through, a call to rescue society through love and respect.
The Venezuelan piano player, singer and music writer MARIEVA DAVILA presents the song “SUBVERSIVOS”, a reflection about the times we’re currently living, a call for love and respect. This song is included in her new album “Travesia”- Canciones de Latinoamérica” (Journey, Songs from Latin America), the second Marieva’s album produced with her sister Prisca Davila who is also a piano-player, singer and music writer.
Marieva highlights, “The situation in my country, Venezuela, is highly complex and by these times needs, more than ever, the contribution from young people and artists to go on. This situation inspired me for writing the song called “Subversivos” where I talk about the loss of values in the society, about how injustices have become part of the every day’s life… Subversive are the expressions of love, in corrupt societies, where jackrabbits run over the sea and fishes over the streets, in a concrete world, but they move with haste, and the dreams are expecting you’ll stop supporting injustice… This is the chorus of the song, where I want to express the importance we artists must give to such topics, so that we can become bridges for reaching a meeting of minds and reconstructing society.”
The album “Travesia” includes new songs written by the Davila sisters as well as selected songs deemed iconic by several American countries. All of them framed within the music language characterizing them, a fusion of jazz, flamenco, Venezuelan and classical music. Now in this album she’s also adding other music genres such as pop, rock, bolero, ballad, Latin jazz, tango, and Bossa nova.

SUBVERSIVOS (SUBVERSIVES)
Lyrics and music: Marieva Davila
Darkness recreates the fear to invisible
Visions of stray bullets
Leaving with no remorse
All hearts are empty, empty…
Souls are blown by the wind
And hope that at some time
Memories may overcome oblivion, oblivion…
And I wake up from a bad dream
And you’re there with me
Tolerance is needed
For the journey
I fail to know you at the beginning
But with your timely love
You bring the river to the fire
And hot to cold
Subversive are the expressions of love
In corrupt societies
Where jackrabbits run over the sea
And fishes over the streets
With no specific course
But with haste
And the dreams are expecting
You’ll stop supporting injustice
