Collector – There's no one like you.
The Colombian band Colectro, throughout their career, has contributed to Caribbean music with a renewed and fresh perspective, in their combination of genres from the area, building in their own way pieces that contain champeta, soukou, cumbia and other ingredients, while adding, as the cherry on top, a fun rock attitude and a more contemporary vision in their promotion. That is why, through their effort and talent, they have managed to travel a large part of the planet and, in truth, they deserve to be served more massively in the future. This time, to continue showcasing their new releases, they bring us a fun video where, to the untrained eye, they might say they did what everyone else does: show a stunningly beautiful woman dancing to their song in a paradisiacal setting. But, unlike many others, they've done it with humor and good taste. That's why it works.
The Girl – The She-Wolf
She may be one of the most experimentally minded artists in the Latin American music scene, and for that reason, since we've had access to her work, we've tried to keep a close eye on her artistic vision. She presents herself simply as La Chica, a Venezuelan woman living in Belleville, France, and what she does, if we're being picky and simplifying our definition, could be labeled "unclassifiable." From what we've heard of her catalog of compositions, He uses every element at his disposal and seeks, at all costs, to give it a very personal, delightfully particular meaning. The same is true of his music videos. He combines refinement in every shot with a bold approach to visual choices, sometimes even unsettling the viewer or, at the very least, challenging their tolerance. But, friends, at this point in time, who needs comfort in music when we can receive brilliance instead?
Tsunamis – The Future
They were part of that wave of incredible rock bands established in Chile at the beginning of this century, those who, with their great songs and outstanding shows, laid a solid foundation for what we can see and hear on the independent side of their country's music scene today. After all this time Tsunamis have managed to survive and continue making interesting music for modern times and, incidentally, release a video with remarkable photographic effort and pleasing color choices. Rock music remains alive and well in their hands, and without resorting to distant nostalgia, they continue to find their place in their country's artistic landscape. Well done.
