Rapper and Songwriter EL NH releases his latest single “Nostalgia” in the US Spotify platform, while also releasing his latest music video “Que lo Toquen”, co-produced by El YucaMx and released through their Mexico City-based production company EME EQUIS MusicFaM. “This is probably the most scared I’ve ever been before a release”, says EL NH from his studio in Mexico City exclusively to Savoir Faire. I definitely stepped out of my comfort zone on this one. It’s a type of narrative I’d never worked on before, with a completely different structure in terms of the lyrical process. It was challenging and overwhelming to say the least but it paid off.” The Mexico City raised rapper has a strong philosophy and perspective in terms of music and genres. “I believe music is music. Period. In a way labelling music in terms of genres kills the purpose of it properly accessing our emotions. I like where the music industry is heading to. Years back, Rock was labelled as Rock and Hip-Hop was strictly seen with a specific image and style. That’s over. Genres are merging, you see country artists collaborating with rappers and Hollywood pop-stars being featured in Latino hits. I like that. The less you think about genres the more creative you can work with collaborations and styles.” The main thing EL NH, whose real name is Donovan Valdovinos, strives for is to portray his native Mexico at its best showing the true nature of it culturally and artistically.

The collaborative music video ‘Si Tuviera un Silencio’ (‘If I Had a Silence’ in English) directed and starred by Teresa Haering from Madrid, and involving people from all over the world, shows the positive side of confinement. The artist Teresa Haering Portoles, from Madrid with Swiss origins, has directed her music video with people related to cinema like Silvia Kal in Hollywood, the director of Swim by Judit in London or Marafiki Community in Kenya. After many days at home, not everything is negative when an artist shows her most creative side. Teresa Haering Portoles decided to create a different music video of her own song "Si tuviera un silencio", in which she reflects the connection between several people around the world, showing or reproducing the lyrics of the single and connecting it to the present moment. The music video is presented by actress Silvia Kal, who we have seeing in music video of Bisbal, Snoop Dogg and Ed Sheeran, or even in Hollywood movies. The video also features multiple people related to art and culture: designer Judit Garcia of the Swim by Judit brand, the director of From Madrid to Hollywood, Santiago Pigmalión or journalist Soledad Arroyo. The music video ends with the applause of members of the Marafiki community in Kenya, who are developing an exceptional collaborative work in Africa. There is even a message filmed from the United Arab Emirates with part of the lyrics of the song. "Through the video of "Si tuviera un silencio" ("If I had a silence"), my intention is to make people feel we are all in this together. I had been thinking for several days about what I could do to encourage my followers, family and friends. I organized everything from home, and asked on my Instagram @teresahaering who wanted to participate in my video and also contacted people in my circle. I prepared a script, received videos and gave directions." shares the director, editor and singer-songwriter of the music video, Teresa Haering Portoles. Teresa Haering, who lives in Pozuelo de Alarcon, Madrid, proposed the idea and sent the script to Silvia Kal, who did not hesitate for a second to participate and open the video from her home in Hollywood, Los Angeles. Judit joined the initiative from London by providing a very fun zenith shot with her children. Marta did the same from Kenya with her husband and two children from Marafiki Community, and Susana has even translated the chorus into Arabic from Emirates. In addition, there are several musicians and artists performing scenes, such as journalist Soledad Arroyo, writer Juan Roures and international Starbucks artist Javier Haering. "I wanted to take a positive approach to confinement through the video of my song "Si tuviera un silencio". It’s been a lot of editing and organization. I recorded the song a few months ago at Sondeson studio, but the whole video was edited from home during "Coronatime". It is amazing how I have managed to connect everyone. I am impressed and pleased because I have got something very positive from these hard times", Teresa explains. "My brother Juan has helped me film my own shots and we did it all without a budget, in a very authentic way. That is the Art of it. I want to reflect the present moment, the feeling of not being able to touch each other or saying things to each other close. "Si tuviera un silencio" shows what is happening in houses all over the world.

Amor Sanchez is a unique actress native of Madrid, Spain. She has appeared in several film, television, and theatre productions. You may have seen her in Crypto Game, Scorpion Girl, Chosen Kin Origins: New Breed and Mexican Gangster , to name just a few. Amor Sanchez’s ability to enter into character and engage with the audience has been recognized by many reputable International Film Festivals with several Best Actress Awards. Amor Sanchez got her Bachelor's Degree in Acting, Theater Arts, Drama and Auditioning Techniques at the well respected Promenade Playhouse in Santa Monica. When did you first know you wanted to become an actor? I always knew I wanted to be an actress. I remember watching TV and thinking “ they look they are having fun, I want to do that”. Little I knew all the work you have to put to do it! I took some acting and dancing classes, performed in different school plays, but it wasn’t until College that I decided to do it full time. I auditioned to join the prestigious Acting School NIC in Madrid and got accepted, where I had the opportunity to star in several Theatre Plays and Student Films. I was working as reporter for a local Spanish TV station when one day, I saw an ad about acting classes in California, is when I decided enroll in UCLA and came to Los Angeles for the first time. Who is your role model or ideal in acting industry? To me, a hero is someone who inspires you. A role model is someone you want to be. They can be the same person, but often, they're not. I admire women that are capable to combine career and family because is not easy. Some even have time to participate in humanitarian causes. My role models are Angelina Jolie and Meryl Streep. They are strong, sharp, classy, confident, badass women that never give up against adversity. Female characters in film and TV motivate women to be more ambitious, more successful, and have even given them the courage to break out of abusive relationships. I wished I had seen more female role models in film growing up. Is there a particular role that got away? A role you really wanted? Is not really a role that got away, but I would love to have been part of my favorite movie Back to The Future . I wish they shoot more parts, but I’ve heard they are not planning to. That’s what I like about Crypto Game and made me take the role, you can tell how it is influenced by the 80s-90s Sci-Fi movies like Blade Runner and Cube . I love 80s movies, another movies I really liked to have been part of are Alien and Terminator series. Now that they are shooting more parts of Terminator , maybe I can get a role! I also love Horror movies, some audience doesn’t give good ratings to horror but I disagree because some have wonderful scripts with twist endings and I like that, I like being surprised like the Scream series. Comedy is another genre that is not very valued by audience but in my opinion, all genres could have quality acting if the script is good. Even Dramas can bore you if they have a bad script. What was your favorite part of filming Crypto Game? I love playing strong, smart, badass women. I love action movies and kicking butts. That’s why I took the roles in Scorpion Girl and Crypto Game . Crypto Game is a survival game with twist ending where a group of females wake up trapped in the strange game. They don’t know why or how they got there but they must find out in order to try to scape. The role I play, Raven is the lead of the group. I had the opportunity to reunite with some cast and crew that I worked with before, it helped because we felt like family. If you’re lucky enough to get a good team, the filmmaking process is much easier and enjoyable. I am very proud and happy with all the nominations we are getting, hard work is paying off! I can’t wait to start shooting the next episodes. Is it true the saying “if you set your mind to it you can do it”? Believe in yourself, you can achieve anything that you set your mind to. The only limits are those that you impose upon yourself. Identify what you truly want and how you truly want to live your life, and take action. Start to create the life of your dreams. Start small, dream big and don’t ever give up. The time is now to go after what you truly want, change your mentality and your life will start to change. We do not see the world as it is, but as we are. When you change for the better then everything around you will change for the better. Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world. If you don’t believe that you can become successful then you will not take any action, and you will just continue doing the same things day after day, and you will never chase after your dreams. Success is not a sprint, it a marathon and quitting is not in my vocabulary. PR Agency: International Reputation PR. IG @internationalreputationpr
