It's appreciated when a band with potential He develops it in a clever, heartfelt, and honest way. It's a good sign when this group also has touches of good humor., almost laughing at herself, with details such as making their audience question symbolic decisions, making fun of the obvious.
A friend was telling me the other day about the most recent Colombian pop projects that are emerging from the independent scene They differ radically from what the boring mainstream traditionally offers, because they develop in alternative circles, before climbing the list of commercial radio favorites. That's where they learn good habits. to take themselves seriously enough to know how to poke fun at their own schemes, avoiding falling into the strict manners of large markets. That's why a band like Peach It takes a pineapple as its image, and therefore recognizes the particular aesthetic of its members, that breaks the mold of the deceptive structures of the media, makes a brilliant video of his song The good thing about today. Here it is clear that there is a sign indicating that They are now ready to start devouring the world one bite at a time., without losing its original ways.
Durazno, with Laura Román at the helm, one of the best voices currently on the Colombian music scene, The innocence of other times has prevailed and He knows this is his moment to become known in bigger circles. Its members took the risk of hiring Andrés Saavedra, a multi-Grammy Award-winning producer, and, without losing the essence of his art, they climbed the ranks to be served in the most popular instances.
The staging presented in the clip It's simple but impeccable., and manages to highlight the strength of the band members. Román captivates the viewer with his sensuality without much effort. And the rest of the group perfectly fulfills their roles, each having their own moment in the spotlight. Although sometimes exaggerated, the special effects used in the editing They help the video flow interestingly.
In short, Durazno formally presents itself to the world in a new stage of intelligent maturity and happy sound results And that's cause for celebration. We are facing an exquisite example of the progress of new Latin American music. That makes us very happy.
