Una Vida
The First Vinyl Edition
A new record. A new chapter. An invitation to be part of where it goes next.
It's been a long journey to get this record where it is today.
I started it in Kansas City, then carried it with me through Memphis, Austin, Portland, Atlanta, Panamá, and back again. Much of Una Vida came together during a season of returning to Panamá and saying goodbye to my grandparents.
Now the record comes out October 30, the tour is underway, and over the past few weeks I've had the chance to share the album at intimate listening parties in Kansas City, Los Angeles, Panamá, and Meéxico.
The response has been overwhelmingly positive. A reminder of how much my community believes in this music.
Ahora te toca a tí; it's your turn. Step further into the world of Una Vida.
The First Vinyl Edition
We created a limited-edition teal edition of Una Vida, limited to only 200 copies.
From Panamá
Three photographs from Panamá have been turned into limited risograph prints with Oddities in Kansas City.
Three photographs. 25 prints of each. 75 total.
From Kansas City
The Kansas City Edition brings together the teal vinyl and Panamá print with our embroidered El Diablico work shirt made with MADEMOBB, connecting two places that shaped this record and shaped me.
Go Deeper
There are only eight Una Vida test pressings, plus a small number of more personal ways to take part in the campaign, including a one-on-one studio session with me and an intimate Una Vida performance in your home.
You can also simply get the record.
The Kickstarter starts at $10, with signed CDs, black vinyl, the Kickstarter-exclusive teal edition, and the other editions available from there.
If you pledge before October 29, you'll also be invited to the Album Release Livestream.
Una Vida came from thinking about what gets passed down, what we carry with us, and what we choose to do with the time we have.
Thank you for listening, for showing up, and for carrying this music with us.
Con gratitud,
Enrique Chi
