We have a friend who, because of her music career, has had to spend quarantine far from home. Very far away. As far as the distance from coast to coast across the Atlantic Ocean and a little beyond. She traveled with her vinyl records to bring joy to an audience she didn't know, and when she arrived at her destination, the lockdown began, and she couldn't return. Luckily, she's been taken in by a family who have accepted her and her records. They comfort her whenever she can't take it anymore and cries. They dance with her when she plays her collection of Salsa legends, when the trumpets and voices of Caribbean legends envelop her. Her relief comes when she finds peace in the verses of Orquesta La Conspiración, La Sonora Ponceña, and the great maestro Rubén Blades. Until she can return and be with us, we dedicate this week's playlist to her. For the fourteenth time in 2020, we celebrate survival with twenty new tunes coming from Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Puerto Rico, Chile and Mexico, which sound like Pop, Hip Hop, Folk, Blues, Electronic, Fusion and Rock. Among others, we added the new single from Negra Chávez, the latest production of Elsa and Elmar, the new publication of Francisca Valenzuela and the most recent recording of Tessa Ia.
We repeat once again our favorite phrase for these kinds of occasions: Find your headphones, step away from the world and listen. This is the Zonagirante.com playlist from April 10, 2020.
