Ondara’s new album,Spanish Villager No: 3, was predominately produced by Ondara and Mike Viola(Jenny Lewis, Dan Wilson) with contributions fromTaylor Goldsmith and Griffin Goldsmith of Dawes, Sebastian Steinberg, Tim Kuhland Jeremy Stacey. The new collection of songs features a much more full, electric sound.Of the album, Ondara states, “This collection of work and the work that lies ahead in presenting it to the world, is a metaphor for my spiritual path. There is death and resurrection in it, a peeling of layers, a pursuit of the truest form of the self in the universe. Ironically, the adaptation of the Spanish Villager character has made me more acquainted with myself. By creating an obvious demarcation between theart and the artist,I have charted two paths of maturation. One path is the maturation of the SpanishVillager as a work of art, as a character in a narrative, as a commodity partaking in the mandatory sport of capitalism; The other is my own personal maturation into a spiritual, integrated, and useful member of society.”The namesake behind the new album isThe Spanish Villager: a mysterious man with a potent message who has proven to be a versatile guy: he’s the subject of a short story Ondara wrote and turned into a graphic novel, and now a new album.Spanish Villager No: 3follows his 2020 sophomore album,Folk N’ Roll Vol 1: Tales of Isolation, and his2019 debut album,Tales of America, which received a nomination forBest Americana Album at the 62nd Grammy Awards. Ondara also received a nod for Best Emerging Act at the2019 Americana Awards. Ondara grew up in Nairobi, Kenya listening to American alt-rock and making up his own songs for as long as he can remember. At an early age he fell in love with the music of BobDylan and was granted a visa through the immigration lottery system. He chose Minneapolis as his home to pursue a career as a singer and songwriter with Dylan in mind. He began making his way in the local music scene, continually writing songs about what he saw, felt and experienced in a place far different from home.
