It's a love song. It's a love song born from the distance, the same distance that exists between Bogotá and Medellín, the cities we see on screen, at times with the sky at their feet and the streets above their heads. This is a video that, cleverly, is presented in black and white., reflecting a nostalgic mood and, incidentally, making the named capitals look like urban gems, despite the heat, rain and cold. Lianna, along with her producer and partner Gambeta, from the popular group Alcolyricoz, brings us this great soul and hip hop tune, which stands out for its quality craftsmanship and the melancholic feel it brings, perfect for these times of confinement.
Negra Chavez – He speaks to me
Independent artists have two options in these circumstances. They can sit gazing out the window and complaining about everything happening in the world right now, or they can, with their resources, no matter how vast or limited, bring their ideas to fruition. And, possibly, if they do something, the chance of it resonating with the public is greater than if they remain passive and complain. Anyway, after that observation, which barely scratches the surface of the current reality, we have this clip from an Argentinian artist with a powerful voice and strong songwriting skills., Furthermore, he decided to develop his own video during quarantine, resulting in a simple and fun audiovisual piece. which never ceases to be effective. We like what Negra does, and we confirm this again by watching the successful outcome time and time again.
Earthquake – I give up on the sun
This is a challenging audiovisual work, deeply moving and made with the utmost respect for everyone involved in its creation. This Bogotá-based band, returning after several years away, releases their second single of this new phase. and visually pushes us to reflect on what is beautiful and what is appropriate to present and promote a song. We reiterate: It's clear this was a process carried out with the utmost dignity, and at no point was there any intention to elicit false sympathy or unnecessary expressions of condolence. The purpose was to connect the recording to a touching and beautiful event, and it succeeded. There's no need to look for further explanations. It's a significant risk that, in the end, achieves the desired result.
