Brillanza y Orgullo
Long awaited debut single by young french-argentinian Luna Cedron. Having a rich musical background from flamenco to trap, from french punk to underground club sounds, Fiesta en el Vacio is developing a strange world of her own, dark, fragile and poetic. The present record is bathed in organ-like synth and spanish singing, very tense on A-side (walking too fast on an empty dark street) and almost numb on the B-side (lost in an unknown bright garden with no way out).

We glimpse the artist’s now…
