Women, BIPOC & LGBTQIA+ communities have always been in a subaltern place in society. Mãe Solteira Records, as you come to know, is a label dedicated to the edition, agency and promotion of artists that are from these communities.
We’re already into the NEAR ecosystem for a while now, in the Forum, Astro DAO and MintBase. We keep playing at NEAR organized events: Astrea recently played on the last Muti’s Party at cryptovoxels, and we’ve also put more NFTs for sale on our MintBase Store, splitting the royalties with the artist’s own NEAR wallet. On a side note, our latest event was the at a Launch Party of a music VA compilation named “Memory Palace”, powered by NEAR Protocol, which was a success! We created and onboarded on that event 5 more NEAR wallets.
This month, we’re happy to announce the 1st Anniversary of Mãe Solteira Records, which coincides with the celebration of the International Women’s Day. For our anniversary party, we thought of a well prepared event called “ROTTURA”, in collaboration with Mergulho Urbano Collective, who gave us the opportunity to do this event, and Arroz Estúdios.
From the label resident artists to special guests and even new discoveries, this event contemplates a women based line-up with multiple activities that go from live-concerts to DJ sets, and even Italian artisanal pizza, made in a firewood oven by “Passion of Christ Pizzeria”.
The various artists chosen for the line-up have also developed new musical and non-musical work to be presented at this specific event.
The name “ROTTURA” came from our desire to break the standards and norms of the unequal society we live in. We remind you that Mãe Solteira Records was created on International Women’s Day, which also celebrates a worldwide rupture in the way women were treated and seen. It was all of us, women, who created this disruption and created some space for our freedom and equality (where we continue to walk and fight for).
“Rotura” is also the name of a film directed by Ana Hatherly, one of the most prestigious Portuguese artists, who worked in other artistic fields, such as cinema, plastic arts, having also been a teacher. The name made more and more sense!
As the invitation to curate this event was given to us by Massimiliano Sarta from Mergulho Urbano who is Italian, the sonority of the language has been very present in our minds, which is why we decided to call the event “ROTTURA”.
In short, we hope to be able to perpetuate these artists’ music and, at the same time, we want to onboard more people, and help the NEAR Ecosystem to grow. This way, we thought of asking NEAR to fund this event due to all that it stands for!
The Anniversary Party will be at Arroz Estúdios, a cultural association based in Beato, Lisboa, on 12th of march, from 9pm to 4pm. This space is also into NEAR Ecosystem and receives payments in NEAR.
The event will be produced and curated by Mãe Solteira Records’ Team and Mergulho Urbano Team, accordingly. We also want to have Tolga Arslan (@squattingpigeon) present to be onboarding people on NEAR.
We believe this event will help us to continuously diffuse the NEAR Protocol project. If you approve our funding, we will also put the NEAR’s logo on the Anniversary Party’s poster and on the respective social media promotional content.

**** We have created 5 wallets on the last event. This event will happen in a bigger venue and more people, so we’re asking 2N to open wallets with 0.1N, and we’ll give a discount on pizzas (5€ instead of 9€) to everyone who opens a wallet.
We hope you like our project and agree with our budget, so we can have a great and successful party with such symbolising meanings and, of course, that we can bring more people to the NEAR Ecosystem!
