Today, Spain based filmmaker and songwriter Fany De La Chica shares the video for “Tengo Miedo”. It’s an emotional, jazz tinged slow burn that confronts the pain of trying to love again.
Fany de la Chica is an Andalusian (south of Spain) award-winning filmmaker and singer based in Harlem (New York). Her films have been screened in more than one hundred international film festivals and featured in HollywoodReporter, MovieMaker, CineWoman or Glamour Magazine. She has an MFA in directing/screenwriting from Columbia University of New York.
During her time studying, she suffered depression following the dissolution of her relationship abroad. She decided to take singing lessons in Columbia’s Jazz Department, and write songs in order to heal the pain. Together with other jazz musicians like Jake Chapman, indie producer Sahil Ansari, and DJ Ann Streichman, she recorded and produced her first album, Dressed for a Sunday. The album is influenced by her roots in flamenco and copla, and infused with jazz, R&B, electronic and indie music.
On the single, Fany De La Chica writes ~
“”Tengo Miedo” talks about being scared to be in love and I think this feeling is very characteristic of New Yorkers… at least this has been my experience. So this wall that people put in front of them to not “feel” – like we are robots…. this wall drives you to be in several relationships at the same time. In this sense, the music video expresses very well this concept and of course, the woman takes the lead when she is betrayed at the party.”
