- **“RISK AND REWARD”**
A piece by @milliframess.lens in collaboration with us
*About the piece:*
The reason we discovered the location where we took this picture was the same reason I discovered the band Tulengua. That reason is *risk and reward*. When I was a younger man, I decided to travel outside of my comfort zone and try my networking skills at an art show in city heights. I wasn't doing so well so I walked outside for a smoke break, where I ran into Alan. We talked about photography, and I showed him my photos. He was impressed and invited me to a couple of their music video shoots. Risk and reward my friends. The same way we discovered that location, we walked up and down a mountain with all the drip we could attain on a Sunday morning. After a couple minutes of hiking there was no luck for us, after our first attempt to try to snap the masterpiece, we tried a different location, we got one picture and was removed by security seconds after. Still not satisfied, we tried a different location. Back to the mountain we went. As soon as I saw this weird scaffolding thing hanging off this beautiful cliff with the bluest sky and the whitest clouds I've seen in a minute, the composition just came to my head. It was a love at first sight type of deal. I set up my flash, aligned the band members I can gladly call my friends now due to that risk from the story earlier, and pressed the shutter to now we have this beautiful photograph. All the ups and downs, all the yeses that could've been no's, led to this beautiful photo. Which is why it only seems fair to call it "Risk and reward".
La razón por la que descubrimos el lugar donde tomamos esta foto fue la misma razón por la que descubrí la banda Tulengua. Esa razón es *riesgo y recompensa*. Cuando era más joven, decidí viajar fuera de mi zona de confort y probar mis habilidades para establecer contactos en una exhibición de arte en las alturas de la ciudad. No me estaba yendo muy bien, así que salí a tomar un descanso para fumar, donde me encontré con Alan. Hablamos de fotografía y le mostré mis fotos. Quedó impresionado y me invitó a un par de sesiones de sus videos musicales. Riesgo y recompensa, mis amigos. De la misma forma en que descubrimos ese lugar, subimos y bajamos una montaña con todo el drip que pudimos obtener un domingo por la mañana. Después de un par de minutos de caminata no hubo suerte para nosotros, después de nuestro primer intento de tomar la obra maestra, probamos en una ubicación diferente, obtuvimos una imagen y la seguridad del lugar la eliminó segundos después. Todavía no satisfecho, probamos una ubicación diferente. Fuimos de vuelta a la montaña. Tan pronto como vi este extraño andamio colgando de este hermoso acantilado con el cielo más azul y las nubes más blancas que he visto en mucho tiempo, la composición me vino a la cabeza. Fue como amor a primera vista. Configuré mi flash, alineé a los miembros de la banda a los que con gusto puedo llamar mis amigos ahora, gracias al riesgo de la historia anterior, y presioné el obturador para ahora tener esta hermosa fotografía. Todos los altibajos, todos los síes que podrían haber sido nos, llevaron a esta hermosa foto. Es por eso que me parece justo llamarla "Riesgo y recompensa".
*This piece is the second in our monthly **LAS CALIFORNIAS** series, a project that aims to melt borders and celebrate interdependence.

Collect both pieces from both sides of the border for a special surprise + early access to future tulengua drops across the music NFT landscape. (US SIDE).*
- **“Todo Regresa En Algo Nuevo”**
A piece by @bofkid.lens in collaboration with us
*About the piece:*
Mi encuentro con REAL, siempre ha sido un espacio de protección, cada que suena, en mí
no cabe más que agradecerles por haberla creado (tulengua). Escucharla en vivo es como un
formato de CBD musical para mi mente.
El contenido explícito que mi personaje maneja, es todo lo malo que quisiera decir o hacer y transformarlo en algo propositivo y bueno. Siento que me estoy desmoronando, el poder del visual me transforma, el pretexto de hacer lo que hago para encontrar un fuego interno, un poder sagrado.
TODO REGRESA EN ALGO NUEVO.
My encounter with REAL has always been a space of protection, every time I hear it.
All that I want is to thank them for having created it (tulengua). Listening to it live is like a
musical CBD for my mind. The explicit content that my character handles is everything bad that I've wanted to say or do and to transform it into something purposeful and good. I feel that I am falling apart, the power of the visual transforms me, the excuse of making what I do to find an inner fire, a sacred power.
EVERYTHING COMES BACK IN SOMETHING NEW.

Gracias 💕
- hola friends.
our first @soundxyz_ drop of the year is this thursday, jan 26 🥰
this song is "love me well or leave me alone" energy.
2023 time to be fearless about leaving spaces that don't align with our well being.
our view on genres is like our view of borders... the more fluid the better.
ENAMGON is some funky house-flavored psychedelic RnB. the first 11 of our previous collectors (and any lens friends who collected our last posts) can get it fo free before 6pm. after that, it's .01 ETH.
our vision is music as a vehicle for unity consciousness. interdependence. melted borders. god. the remembrance of our belonging to one another. music turns the intangible into waveforms that tune us to a shared frequency. what a time to be alive y que viva la musica 💜

- **"Aqui Inicia La Lengua"**
A piece by @worldclassy.lens in collaboration with us.
*About the piece:*
The Welcome Tu Las Californias festival sparked a lot of inspiration in me. The worlds of TJ, SD, and LA melting togetheras one felt very powerful and was incredible to capture. I thought, “What better way to relive the festival than to mesh some of photos I took into one collage?” We have Jimmy, Amari and Alan of Tulengua singing their hearts out at “Welcome Tu Las Californias” and all the music lovers listening with so much awe. Shot in Tijuana, MX. November 2022.
El festival Welcome Tu Las Californias despertó mucha inspiración en mí. Los mundos de TJ, SD y LA fusionándose en uno se sintio muy poderoso y fue increíble capturarlo. Pensé: "¿Qué mejor manera de revivir el festival que combinar algunas de las fotos que tomé en un collage?" Tenemos a Jimmy, Amari y Alan de Tulengua cantando con todo su corazón en “Welcome Tu Las Californias” y todos los amantes de la música escuchando con tanto asombro. Rodada en Tijuana, MX. Noviembre de 2022.

- **"2 TONGUES OUT"**
A piece by @happyxsnacks.lens in collaboration with us.
*About the piece:*
Tapping into the tulenguaverse, this piece really has different meanings to me. One, the reminder that we are all the same and that duality can coexist peacefully within life. And two, that we are beings with no limitations, and through music and art we can open portals to new lifes, new visions, new values, new colors.
Manifestando el tulenguaverso, esta pieza realmente tiene diferentes significados para mí, uno, el recordatorio de que todos somos iguales y que la dualidad puede coexistir pacíficamente en la vida. Y 2, que somos seres sin limitaciones, y a través de la música y el arte podemos abrir portales a nuevas vidas, nuevas visiones, nuevos valores y nuevos colores.

- Hey LENS
Happy weekend!! ツ
Something beautiful and awesome is coming next week with my friends TULENGUA.
Welcome Las Californias 👅👅
- tomorrow Tuesday we begin a new experiment for LAS CALIFORNIAS.
A collaboration between @tulengua.lens and......
2 artists every month, one from the US side, one from the Mexico side.
We are here to melt borders and highlight the boundless creativity in our cross-border region.
Every month will be different. Sometimes visual, sometimes music, always groovy.
Anyone who goes full borderless and collects BOTH drops will be in a community pool where we'll be gifting physical prints of the drops, live show tix, merch, all the fun things.
viva la musica.
FIRST TWO ARTISTS ARE @happyxsnacks.lens in Tijuana and @worldclassy.lens in San Diego 💜
- we are a band from both sides of the most crossed border in the west.
