Mirasierra

BEKAR

04/2022 © Panenka Music The rapper from Roubaix has long been a part of the French Rap rookies for a time that’s now revolute: Bekar is on the main stage now. Bekar just launched the sequel of his EP MIRA : MIRASIERRA. He explained is choice on Instagram: "Mirasierra is the name of the neighborhood where I was born in Madrid, it also means "look at the mountain" in Spanish. It’s also an allegory that I like because we’re always facing an obstacle to climb." Let's get to the heart of the project: musically what does it sound like? The nine additional tracks are relatively varied and it’s fabulous. I appreciate a lot the fact that each track is different and has its own universe. The transition between "La branche" and "59db" pleasantly surprised me. "59db" which is also featuring his Roubaix sidekick: ZKR. The track is clearly a tribute to their city that they describe in the best way. The second guest of MIRASIERRA is Captaine Roshi... what a pleasure! The two artists gave us a high-level performance! As I like to say: the guest respected and honoured the invitation. MIRASIERRA is - as you can imagine - a project that I really enjoyed, particularly "DEHØRS". The lyrics, prods, feats, topics... have totally made sense to me. From now on, we can only wait for one thing: the long-awaited first album of BE. We also wish a bright future for the artist and his music.
