Marem Ladson Tickets

In the depths of Marem Ladsons music lies a profound exploration of her cross-cultural
identity, intertwining her unique approach to lyrical and introspective songwriting with
influences from folk, pop, and Spanish traditional music.
Hailing from Galicia in northern Spain, Marem sought solace from an early age in the
written word, penning short stories and poems that served as windows into her internal
world. It was not long before she discovered the transformative power of music,
teaching herself to play the guitar and transforming her literary creations into heartfelt
songs. It was through music that she sought to understand herself, seeking connection
and a true sense of belonging. In Galicia, she found a close-knit community of
musicians at Caf� Torgal, a small indie music venue that birthed her artistic awakening.
It was there that she immersed herself in the music of artists like Damien Jurado,
Matthew E. White, and Lee Renaldo, while also stepping onto the stage for her first live
performances. In 2018, she released her self-titled debut album, which led to extensive
touring in Spain and Portugal, sharing stages with renowned acts like Cat Power and
Laura Gibson.
At the heart of Baby Light lies Marem Ladson's poignant exploration of identity. Growing
up, she grappled with the absence of her biological father�a Senegalese man who
ventured to Spain in the 1990s, only to disappear from her life when she was just a
child. This lingering void left her searching for answers, carrying with her a sense of
unknowing and resentment. Through her EP, Marem embarks on a soul-searching
journey, confronting her past, piecing together her story, and exposing the hidden layers
of sadness that conceal a fiery undercurrent of anger. The songs of Baby Light serve as
both a refuge and a crucible, creating a space for Marem to embrace the complexities of
her diverse cultural tapestry, while endeavoring to break free from generational trauma.
