Chelo the Goat – Real Life
From Medellín, and with musical production by Juancho Valencia (Puerto Candelaria), comes a new talent whom we dare to add to our list of recommended artists we can't afford to lose track of. Chelo La Cabra brings us a new way to connect with urban music, with his blend of hip hop, pop, blues, and soul. From an early age, Chelo displays an interesting identity of her own, where her deep and very particular voice feels sincere when recounting details of her origins and her life., In the video, she appears alongside her closest family members, showcasing film footage that corroborates her story. Given the high quality of her artistic work, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we'll soon see her on many international stages.
Tatobox – Anesthetized
Eduardo "Tato" Cedeno, a Venezuelan resident in New York, has made a rock song of a little over seven minutes that, contrary to what one might think, is well-rounded and sustains itself throughout its extensive duration. More than a traditionally constructed tune, it seems like an anthem that fights against the trend of our times, where everything looks just the right size and vacuum-packed.. To illustrate this recording, Tato himself has created an eclectic video with personal elements, spatial images, and violent historical archives, which, when described this way, might sound like a chaotic mix, but together they lend greater coherence to the entire audiovisual work. In short, dear viewer: it's only seven minutes long, enjoy this musical short film and immerse yourself in the story.
Lizards in the abyss – Lost
The camera shakes for three minutes and forty-something seconds, but it's all part of the thrilling action of this clip, made so that together, music and image, serve to fill the audience with adrenaline. There isn't a single second of rest in this intense performance by this Mexican trio, who, in their brilliant display of garage rock, and without needing great resources (Just a camera and a cameraman capable of keeping up with the protagonists' running pace) manages to create enough tension for the viewer to identify with what they see on screen, and, at the same time, with the soundtrack of this simple but powerful story.
