I insist: In desperate times like these, Music saves, or at least gives the necessary courage to continue. Good music, the kind that inspires, that strengthens, the kind we want to listen to again and again when we want to feel that adrenaline rush that comes from it exploding in our ears, that adrenaline rush that makes us think that the idiocy, selfishness, and hatred that surrounds us are crumbling away with the passage of sound, when replicating each of the notes.
Each group, each project that recognizes the path forward, chooses its first step to shake the ground. In Zyderal, a duo based in Bogotá, made up of Argentinian Delfina Dib and local musician Camilo Zúniga, The revolution begins with a drum that breaks everything. The percussion of the machines creates a suitable prelude so that one of the best voices of the moment can come and cover us with its mantle. Delfina's voice is so powerful that at times we hear nothing but what comes out of her mouth. Every moment of her singing It surprises, it moves, it shakes, it explodes in our faces. The songs are repeated once, twice, ten times, because the listener seeks to understand what is happening while she sings. Furthermore, the production helps to lend the necessary mystery to that vocal expression., with intelligent use of reverbs and delays.
His new album, Elementary, It is a collection of nine songs that move between trip hop, some Caribbean folk details, moments of hip hop and some elements of drum and bass, and always the permanent weight of the low frequencies It becomes vital to infect us with the seduction process in the hearing. The instrumental structure is cleverly constructed, as it understands its function as a cushion resistant to the vocal impact that floods the environment. Zuñiga's mission is to create the best environment for the powerful Dib Gorge to widen., beautifully stuns the viewer and surpasses him, igniting that small fire that revives the listener and makes him addicted to each of the recordings contained in this compilation. Elementary It manages to be a great album because Its creators know how to make the most of the ingredients they have on hand, making them grow for the pleasure of those who, and there are many, seek to renew their faith in contemporary music.
In short, Zyderal is a name to keep in mind in the times to come, which will be difficult, but manageable., with this type of artistic work, with greater courage.
