Dom La Nena + Julieta Venegas: Who could possibly know?
A Brazilian and a Mexican woman come together in Buenos Aires and create, in terms of color, one of the most explosive videos of 2021 so far. And, from the outset, what is most surprising is that we are talking about the visual presentation of a soft, nostalgic song, which others, for conventional reasons, would have presented with other tones, and without the narrative tensions that this little videographic gem brings. It's an emotional delight from the very first second, thanks to a multitude of details that immediately excite the viewer.The brilliance of the lights, the precious risk of blurring to personalize and depersonalize each of the characters appearing before the camera, the obsessive use of blue, the selection of cityscapes, and the rain, a key protagonist on screen. This video elevates a great song and will surely be among the best promotional works of the year.
The Fox Zapata + Pisces – SAM
One of our favorite artists of the moment has chosen to spend this time of the pandemic on a remote beach in Indonesia, far from the lockdown that others of us are experiencing here. But, even being many thousands of kilometers from her home in Lima, she hasn't stopped working and preparing her new album, taking advantage of the surrounding landscapes to continue creating experimental folk music. On this occasion, she has taken the opportunity to pay homage to a classic film such as Casablanca, including brief dialogues by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, and those unforgettable piano notes that any decent film buff would remember. Then she dived into the sea to snorkel in front of the camera, continuing the theme of simple visual beauty to showcase her excellent musical work. In short, La Zorra Zapata continues to do things right.
Ivo Ferrer – Water
Everything has a good start if it begins with a catchy tune, a contagious melody, a surprising opening. First second: a drum and a voice, nothing more. What happens in the following moments It seems to simulate a mysterious route where the passerby walks carefully, knowing that the road will soon bring a particular turmoil. And that's when the other instruments arrive and the fantasy begins; an unexpected animation intervenes and the video takes on a mystical character we hadn't anticipated. It all lasts just two minutes and twenty seconds, but there's enough time to enjoy the magic.
Tuto Petruzzi – Smoking and contemplating
We'll say it again, perhaps in a different way: A good sequence of images doesn't make a good video without a great tune behind it. And here, fortunately, we have a recording that's splendid in its arrangements, direct in its lyrics, and with a chorus that will stay with us all afternoon. And, yes, now we're talking: We have a psychedelic, fun clip that, without excessive fanfare, seduces and fills the atmosphere with freshness. Dear viewer, do you want to experience this visual spectacle in the best possible way? Well, choose your most comfortable armchair, pick your favorite pleasure poison, and relax.
