The virtual laminate by artist Lauren D’Amato, which will be minted on Polygon and distributed to attendees by Forj via a wallet created for them using just their email, was created in collaboration with La Doña!
La Doña, born Cecilia Cassandra Peña-Govea in San Francisco, California, is a solo reggaeton singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. The Chicana artist began her career at age 7 playing trumpet, and later strings and percussion in her family’s conjunto. She also played in a youth salsa band and a Balkan fusion band before synthesizing her unique upbringing in her original compositions.
La Doña’s catalogue is eclectic, fresh, and urgent. La Doña was chosen as one of YouTube’s Foundry Artists and she has performed recently at Ruido Festand Austin City Limits. Her song, “Quién Me La Paga” was the first of the New York Times Magazine’s “19 Songs that Matter Now,” for 2020, and her EP, Algo Nuevo, was selected by the San Francisco Chronicle as one of the 6 best albums of 2020.
La Doña was awarded the 2020 Yerba Buena Gardens Festival Mini-Commission and the 2021 San Francisco Arts Commission Artist Grant. She will join Durand Jones and the Indications on tour starting this month!
