Defining Invisible Diving goes beyond the songs. It's about talking about A collective of poets, musicians and visual artists that has been making waves since 1997 in their native Montevideo. Their live performances, witnesses recount, are experiences that go far beyond what a simple concert produces. The intention behind their actions is, as they themselves say, «"that the different artistic disciplines engage in dialogue.". To further illustrate what we're saying, the release of his new album, The bread of the madmen, It took place in the Contemporary Art Space, a former abandoned prison, remembered for housing political prisoners during the last dictatorship, a large open space where they were able to put on an impressive display of their images and where, according to comments we read from his followers, each of the artistic expressions there They received a warm welcome from the audience. There's a reason why Wop Magazine Invisible Diving describes as «"One of the most genuine, sensitive, and powerful rock bands in Uruguay"».
To promote his album in the media, Buceo premieres his video Winter, A simple but finely crafted piece of work, with a brilliant idea: To fill empty landscapes with ghosts, to give us the idea that we are never alone. Talk about Winter It's about a song that starts softly and unfolds calmly before us, gradually revealing details that build memories that combat the inevitable nostalgia, which seems to kiss the back of our necks and, without us suspecting it, It creates behind our backs a loving feeling of being pursued, a disquiet where our past steps haunt us and want to embrace us, and we continue moving forward as if behind us there is only something pushing us and not wanting to catch us. Those are the ghosts that express themselves in the clip and that surround us trying to break the silence.
Invisible Diving is a project that deserves closer attention in the rest of Latin America, not only for its songs, but by the sensitivity of its expression. There's a reason they've lasted in their work for almost twenty years. We might still have time to follow them.
