How many times have we said that we love the digital platform BandcampAs we mentioned in our last article on the subject, Bandcamp is one of the fairest companies in the music industry, with a clear philosophy that states that as long as the musicians who make their work available on that platform achieve good results, Everyone will benefit appropriately. If we could create our playlists using the elements of this platform, we wouldn't hesitate to use it all the time. But what these people do is different: He opens his house to artists, without intermediaries, and tells them, in his own way, that of everything they sell, they keep a very high percentage of the transaction, acquiring their money quickly and reliably. Furthermore, Bandcamp does not censor, and that is evident in the amount of material one finds browsing through its depths. Another valuable fact about them: It is the platform where you can best see the graphic work that gives image to the record products displayed there. Album covers have their value; they serve a purpose, without the usual limitations of digital formats. That's why, for some time now, at the end of each year (due to the pandemic, the last time we undertook this task was in 2019), we've compiled the best covers of singles and albums released on record. Entering Bandcamp, with the obvious limitations of the case, is similar to entering a vinyl record store. This is where, perhaps without knowing anything about the content on display, one returns to the old habit of browsing the display shelves, to be surprised and discover what lies behind a great image, hoping to receive the best possible sound. Of course, sometimes there are disappointments, we know, but what What we propose on this occasion is to delight in seeing the independent work of many designers around our continent, at the service of their clients, mostly self-managed musicians., who have made a great effort to ensure that lovers of new music and those who are not satisfied with what the traditional market offers, can enjoy the divine and mysterious journey of sonic discovery.
Here we present a gallery with 104 pieces made this year throughout Latin America, Created using very different production techniques, these pieces are listed below with links so you can listen to whatever catches your eye. There's something for everyone, from samba a doom metal, from classical acoustic guitar to the most complex synthpop. There's something for everyone. Welcome!
