![🎶🇳🇮 | The new song “Trayectoria con memoria,” by Ludwing Gómez (@ludgomezs), is out now!
Over three years after entering exile, the Nicaraguan singer-songwriter’s new track explores loss, memory, and hope for a freer future. Profiled by ARC in 2023, Ludwing’s story is one of daring artistry, activism, and courage in the face of immense strife, both in Nicaragua and now in exile.
In conversation with ARC, Ludwing shared, “My plan for the future [is] to journey and live with my songs in the world. To bring my message and speak to who I am, of what I was in Nicaragua, what it gave me because thanks to NicaraguaI am here…I am Nicaragua. When I miss Nicaragua, I think I am Nicaragua.”
