Michelle Blades has worked for the first time on a film score, for « Las Hijas » the first feature film by director Kattia G. Zúñiga. An instant connection and familiarity quickly settled in between the two artists, both Panamanians who had spent most of their lives far from Panama.
The beautiful tracks composed by Michelle Blades « Un ride en PTY », « Cementerio de los aviones », « La Luna en meditación » and « Sexo y celos » (for reggaeton lovers!), follow the sisters Marina and Luna travelling from Costa Rica to Panama in search of their absent father. While dealing with the tensions that arise between them, they find space to explore their desires, new friendships, loves and skateboarding. An intimate and tender tale of two sisters' relationship in the urban tropics, with a profound depiction of the colorful life of adolescence.
