The fearsome outlaws Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, After ravaging the American West in the late 19th century, they sought their fortune in the southern part of the continent, and some say, though without proof, that they died in a confrontation with the police in San Vicente, Bolivia. Not far from there, several decades later, we can hear The Ballad of J. González, a song that could have fit perfectly into the soundtrack of the story of the Americans lost on the high plateau. Pedropiedra, A Chilean artist of growing popularity, as a preview of his new album, presents a fusion that we dare to label Andean pop-western, a cowboy music that uses quenas instead of harmonicas, and whose geography is far from Texas and close to Lake Titicaca. Solitary roads and sandy routes, men with stories that weigh on the soul, and every trace of civilization far from the protagonist's destiny. Pedropiedra understands these misfortunes.
