Thirty-seven years after its release, a beautiful song crosses the Río de la Plata from one bank to the other, renewing its attire, adorned with fresh colors and drums, and regaining its brilliance so that new generations can hear and enjoy a beautiful story. Since 1985, when Fito Páez from Rosario released Turns, one of his most popular albums, 11 and 6 It has been one of the most applauded songs in the history of Argentine rock. Now, with the ingenuity of Uruguayan Negro Rada, the story of the pre-teen couple takes on a more festive flavor, without losing tenderness or innocence along the way. The video is a simple production, with clear and honest photography, in which the charisma of the Montevideo native, even at seventy-eight years old, exudes freshness and sustains everything seen on screen. A great piece of work.
Francisca Valenzuela – Like a flower
Yes, every time we see a video by Chilean artist Francisca Valenzuela, we fall head over heels for her. It's inevitable. But, thinking about it more calmly, as we continue to see her releases, we understand that it's not simply that we're captivated by her exuberant and obvious beauty, but rather that, by taking the time to analyze the phenomenon, we understand her effort and achievement in making her career a credible and sustainable product, where, with each passing day, she knows how to do what is expected of her in a more exquisite, more consistent way. Pop, as a fragile art form, often fails in its attempt to seduce because we feel that some are mindlessly repeating the words of others. Here, the opposite is true: Francisca Valenzuela is becoming increasingly prominent in the music scene because her conviction and talent are so strong that she manages to convince us that what we see and hear belongs entirely to her., and it makes us think that we are witnessing the intimacy of a real and close story.
Child God + IM Yonni – Tinder & Bumble
She speaks clearly, directly to the point, and that's why we like her so much. Furthermore, her work is flawless and her sound remains current. Niña Dioz, as we said when reviewing her last album, Love, madness and other vices, is one of the most interesting proposals in Latin hip hop, because he puts his talent at the service of his own cause, which is to recount her days, to explain what she experiences and what she thinks, to defend her identity and to feel proud of it. And not only that: What he does is fun, creates massive enjoyment, and is meticulous, both in its audio and visual presentation. He deserves to be celebrated for his skillful work and his rebellious spirit.
