A correspondent tells us that on her street, in a city we will not reveal, some ladies go out to their windows every day to warn of the presence of strangers loitering around their doorways. The journalist in question notes that she lives in a typical middle-class neighborhood, where in the old normal the shops and bars in the area received all kinds of customers and the action, although without excesses, took place until well into the afternoon. Back then, it was common to see a caravan of cyclists pass by around nine at night, and amidst the throng, you could hear voices and the occasional song, barely recognizable amidst the cyclists' speed. Our correspondent also recounts that in those days, no one minded the occasional bus passing by at midnight, its weight noticeable as it rolled over the asphalt. It was an everyday occurrence; none of it bothered them. Now, in the midst of the pandemic, the housewives who spend their time on their balconies watching the block don't allow any strangers to show their faces, especially if their skin is darker than usual in the neighborhood. Some have their old pots and ladles ready to burst the eardrums of their neighbors if any invaders approach. According to our friend, those matrons only calm down when an old tenor who lives in the building halfway down the block, now retired from the stage, comes out in the early morning and agrees to sing an aria or two. That's how you tame the beasts.
For the twenty-sixth time in 2020, we have happy excuses to celebrate thanks to twenty new songs from Colombia, Argentina, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Peru, Honduras, Chile and Mexico, which sound like Pop, Fusion, Folk, Hip Hop, Electronic and Rock. Among others, we added the new single from Nena X, the latest production of The Tenacious, the new publication of The Girl and the most recent recording of Lorena Blume.
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 July 3, 2020.
