Dominican-Italian singer YEИDRY (yendryofficial): 'At first, you just want to make music because that's your passion, but then you realize that you are impacting people with what you say and do.'
In the macrocosm of white patriarchy and supremacy, Yendry understands that opposing standards hardly shields us from a world functioning from the very prejudices that impact Black and brown communities around the globe. “I remember my mom having to sit me at the table and have a conversation with me about the fact that we were Black,” she shares with Refinery29 Somos on what it was like to grow up in Italian society.
Coming into herself inspired Yendry to return for the first time as an adult to her native Herrera neighborhood in the Dominican Republic last year. “I wanted to present myself as I am today and my music,” she describes tenderly, “not to an audience but to my family.” An intimate snapshot of this emotional homecoming is captured in, a five-minute documentary celebrating her Dominican roots and what she deems the essence of her cultural fabric.
“The book begins in the middle of the 19th century when the U.S. was attempting to annex the Dominican Republic ... and ends in the 21st century Italy with the new iterations of Black Latinidad that are emerging in Europe.”At first, you just want to make music because that’s your passion, but then you realize that you are impacting people with what you say and do.Now, Yendry, one of the most prominent Afro-Latina artists hailing from Europe, is having a career milestone.
“At first, you just want to make music because that’s your passion, but then you realize that you are impacting people with what you say and do. You realize that someone is counting on you or taking you as a figure they can relate to,” she explains. “I started sharing my story because I know a lot of people see themselves in it.
, Yendry joins Lous and the Yakuza to deliver vocals in Spanish and French, respectively. The song, she insists, is “ultimately about people’s uncritical judgment.” In it, she refers to herself as a “mulata” to drive a message of self-reclamation. “Si, yo soy mulata, and I don't care. I'm proud of it, because I've gone through a whole journey in order to be proud of that.”
