Popi Tass – Sounds and silences
Another great song produced during the mandatory quarantine, a musical piece that exudes intense sensitivity and, in a way, becomes another anthem for those who collect music that helps them understand what we've experienced in the last year. Using acoustic guitars, synthesizers, and, curiously, a metallophone, and, of course, the seductive voice of this Buenos Aires native, The final product is a ballad that seeks to inspire hope amidst despair, and, to be honest, it does somehow achieve its goal of moving us. Moving on to the visual aspect, we can say that we have been observing the videographic treatment since the times of the remembered American series True Detective, And we know that some producers have overused this type of effect, but in this case it fits perfectly with the spirit of the composition, and that's why it works and is enjoyable. Good job.
Acru – Dharma
Every day we receive more and more clear evidence of the growth and consolidation of Argentine hip hop, a phenomenon that, it must be said clearly, until a few years ago was a marginal movement, despised by the mainstream in that country. The truth is that the quantity and quality of the genre's exponents is already overwhelming., And we see an ascending catalog of direct and forceful tunes that have found an effective way to narrate the reality of the new generations, who have moved away from what many consider the stagnant rock narrative of their homeland. Furthermore, hip hop has taken note of the power of visuals and has recently produced exquisite graphic works that rival anything done in other parts of the world with much larger budgets. The example is here, with a piece filmed in Ushuaia, taking advantage of the landscapes at the end of the world, with brilliant photographic agility and then sharp editing that perfectly matches the rhythm of this great song.
Pommez International – Anti-Song
Call it an exotic event, an unexpected action, a production that many of us, the vast majority, neither expected nor imagined. But yes, here we have a video made from the choreography planned by a Japanese artist, located in Yokohama next to the LadyM Dance Company, based on a musical theme from an Argentine group with unusual resonances, a combination of tango and avant-garde experimentation, whose lyrics and instrumentation aim to describe the chaos and hell that is experienced in the city of Buenos Aires. In short, a complete surprise, this black and white film never loses its vehemence or energy, and it's worth enjoying at full volume, perhaps even wearing your loosest clothes to mimic the movements of the agile dancers. Simply spectacular.
