The bridge that led her to her partner

I discovered Rammstein in 2007 thanks to my cousin, who was a huge fan of the band. The first song I heard was “Mutter,” and then she showed me Live aus Berlin — from there my love for the band never stopped growing. When they came in 2010 I couldn’t go see them: I was in school, with neither the money nor anyone to go to the concert with.

In 2011 I met one of my closest friends, also a devoted fan, who told me about Rammstein Colombia. In 2013 I went to a meetup where I was given a flag and a sticker I still have, and around that time I bought my first original DVD: the special edition of Völkerball. Years later I went to my first Treffen, and that same year I worked up the courage to travel to Mexico to see them for the first time, at Hell and Heaven.

Thanks to those meetups and that trip, I met my current partner, with whom I’ve had the chance to see them live two more times in Mexico and twice in the United States, plus the huge privilege of meeting them in person. More than a band, Rammstein has been a bridge connecting me to people who are infinitely important in my life.
