We'll say it again: We're fans of the digital platform Bandcamp. It's home to underground musicians, to people seeking rebellious alternatives to present their work in spaces other than the more commercial venues. Furthermore, on Bandcamp, as we've noted in previous articles, The graphic art that accompanies the recordings is noticeable and unfolds elegantly to the delight of fans of new illustrated expressions. We're back again, and we've selected forty of the best album covers published between January and May of this year. And while we're at it, we invite you to listen to the new music from the continent.
Below we present varied and diverse samples, within a spectrum that includes cumbias and recent expressions of neo-folk, and extends across electronic music, folk, pop, reaching metal, punk, and hardcore. We travel from one side of Latin America to the other and We delight in the optical fantasies that accompany the current sounds of this side of the world.
