Damned Martyrs – Damned martyrs
If any young aspiring film director in the style of Quentin Tarantino is looking for a proposal for their soundtracks, we can recommend them. This Peruvian group with a fine orchestral sound, makes good ballads for romantic moments and achieves fast-paced action for scenes of violence. From Lima comes the debut album from this band, which skillfully blends classic rockabilly with ska and surf influences, delivering the high-energy moments needed to get the crowd going. Their sound is solid, with catchy songs and a knack for bringing sounds of the past to life and adapting them for modern times. A gem worth listening to again and again.
FelipeAnm – Of spirit, not of heaven
Some people made better use of the quarantine than others, and in this case, we're referring to this Chilean singer-songwriter who used his time in lockdown to record four songs and create a small album of beautiful and intimate tunes that are well worth the time to listen to. The artist notes that these are compositions made for children, but the truth is we can disregard that label, as we believe this material can be enjoyed at any time by anyone, regardless of their age. These are four acoustic tracks, pleasant folk music to be listened to without any preconceived notions. and without demands beyond being enjoyed, perhaps returning to the best moment of our lives (or something similar, so as not to get too transcendental).
Speakers – Peter's dream
There are bands that, perhaps from remaining hidden for so long, if they let a light shine from their hiding place, illuminate their entire surroundings and compel us to seek them out to learn more. Something similar happens with this group from Medellín, who can remain shrouded in absolute mystery for years, never venturing beyond their city and their own sanctuary, and then, when we least expect it, they release four complex recordings that shock listeners. All this happens for its captivating mix of thousands of elements, encompassing the recitation of enchanting poems, indie-style distortion, rhythms reminiscent of Andean beats, and even a stimulating punk spirit Parlantes doesn't choke on cheap protest but engages in profound and direct questioning. They are one of the best Colombian bands of recent years, and at the same time, they are the pearl that for long periods remains hidden in its oyster, making us think they have vanished off the map. Hopefully, when everything is ready, they will finally decide to conquer Latin American stages as they deserve.
