Playlist of Latin American premieres #23/2021

For some time now, and especially around here, good art has made the powerful uncomfortable and displeased. There are songs that have managed to pierce hearts and enrage the figures of the Establishment. Sometimes with obvious words, and other times with metaphorical rhymes that wound in their subtlety. Banksy's ironic graphics, the massive murals on Medellín's avenues, and the spray paint spills on old monuments are all unsettling. How many films banned in official cinemas, how many plays shut down mid-season, how many poems censored in unofficial literary magazines! There are those who constantly dream of annihilating dissenting expressions and, to justify themselves, clamor for dignity, good manners, and decency from their balconies, celebrating any repression carried out in favor of their unpleasant pretensions. In short, meanwhile, to contradict them for a while, We remember one of the greatest poets in history, the same one whom the Francoist hordes killed and buried in an anonymous cemetery, for fear that he would be reborn, Federico García Lorca, with one of his most precious writings:

You'll never understand how much I love you
because you sleep in me and you are asleep.
I hide you, crying, pursued.
by a voice of piercing steel.

A norm that stirs both flesh and starlight
It pierces my aching chest now.
and the murky words have bitten
the wings of your stern spirit.

Group of people jumping in the gardens
Waiting for your body and my agony
on horses of light and green manes.

But keep sleeping, my love.
Hear my broken blood in the violins.
They're still lurking around us!

For the twenty-third time in 2021, We celebrate the rebellious and scattered flowers,  And with them we play the latest playlist of contemporary Latin American music, presenting 20 brand-new tracks made in Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Uruguay, Chile and Mexico,  whose sound is related to labels such as  Pop, Fusion, Reggae, Ska, Folk, Hip Hop, Folklore, Electronic and Rock.
