30 years since the death of Kurt Cobain, And millions still miss him and speculate about what might have happened If he had reflected at the last moment and decided to leave his rifle on the floor, he would cry for a moment and then feel the necessary curiosity to move on. We already shared in a previous article our fantasy of what would have happened if Cobain were still alive in 2024. We imagined his early abandonment of music, his withdrawal from society, his life as a hermit in a very comfortable cabin on a lake in Washington state—all of that. Now, however, we hear news, we don't know how verified, announcing a Nirvana reunion, with Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl on board, Pat Smear on guitar, and none other than Frances Bean as vocalist, The deceased's daughter. A fun plan that will surely have few broadcast dates, and whose transmission rights will belong to HBO, Max, Netflix, or who knows what millionaire rocker linked to the media. A pretentious exercise, like the one they did with Soda Stereo a few months ago. 

While all that was happening, we decided to look for covers done by Latin artists of the band that was based in Seattle at the time, and we found 8 gems (3 translations of the same song), adapted to all possible speeds, Bearing in mind the ever-present possibility of offending the most radical fans, who might wish to plunge their most rock-and-roll blades into our frail bodies for such blasphemy. We repeat in triple dose Smell like teen spirit, a jazz/funk performance with virtuoso musicians born in Brazil, another performed by a specialist in lounge versions of great pop classics, And, in our opinion, the best version was made in Paris by an orchestra made up of musicians from our continent, turning this grunge anthem into an Afro-Cuban delight. We also include, of course, our beloved Caetano Veloso, with an exquisite recording of Come as you are.

Anyway, here's a compilation of a little over half an hour of heartfelt tribute to a man who joined the infamous 27 Club, and it left us wanting to keep listening to it forever.
