La Vida Bohème – Action (or Decree of War to the Death against the Traitors of Latin American Rock)
Perhaps in the Venezuelan artistic exile, the alternative band with the greatest impact on the scene is the one formed by these Caracas natives who, every time they release new material, cause a small tremor among listeners on the continent. And it's all justified, from their increasingly corrosive sound, their honestly rebellious attitude, and their skillful handling of their image in each of their videos. We haven't had the opportunity to learn the reason for their sentence or who it was against, but it's understandable that they want to climb the ladder of the region's rock scene, perhaps feeling that the local music scene has softened and there are few acts in their genre that sound anything other than a diet yogurt commercial. The video stands out for its fine cinematography and brilliant color grading, which adds drama to the piece. It's clearly a noteworthy work.
Guanaco x Juanpordios x Rap bang club x John Pri – Like fire
To join a night out with these guys, you obviously have to be ready for anything. Who knows where a night out with this union of Ecuadorian and Colombian artists will end up, but in any case, there will be a great soundtrack throughout those hours, designed to keep the party going from start to finish. The hip hop scene in the northern cone of South America is enriched by the presence of this talent, ready to make the audience dance to different rhythms. Furthermore, the promotional clip, made with fun drawings and a simple but effective stop-motion technique, faithfully represents the spirit of the song, achieving a fun product that can be seen and heard in any party environment.
Francisca Valenzuela – The Fortress
As everyone knows, we love and admire Francisca Valenzuela. We confess: We're not big fans of most artists signed to major record labels, but we believe in this Chilean artist. We admire her compositions, the moving way she handles her melodies, the honest nature of her message, and the powerful tenderness she exudes in every performance. And, speaking of her current work, we love her latest video, made in collaboration with her fans., for the agility contained in its editing, the good curation of the material received and the impactful way it manages to include its image amidst the constant bombardment of graphic samples from its guests. We confirm it again: We love Valenzuela, because we believe she is an example of what we want to see from top-tier artists.
