Seeing the band's name and the song title immediately brought to mind an all-female punk band from the grrrl movement, and I was a little discouraged because I thought I was going to hear the screaming and monotonous chords that characterize that genre. However, since it's my duty to open my mind to everything musically emerging from our Latin American lands, I clicked on the video link, and what appeared before me was a very pleasant surprise.
Musically, there's a lot of energy, complemented by clean and professional instrumental performance. In other words, these girls know what they're doing. The sound and message are reminiscent of the nu-metal that emerged from California in the late 90s and early 2000s, with hints of metalcore and hard rock. The drums are groove-laden, punchy, and precise; the bass is thick and well-balanced; the guitars play chords that, while not virtuosic, are very pleasing to the ear and work well with the effects. They also have a lead vocalist with a rich, strong, and melodic voice that perfectly matches the positive message of the lyrics. In short, in my opinion, there's not a single bad track; it's a song you'll want to listen to again and again.
Visually, it's a simple video, with good editing and resolution. The colors are nice, and the Lolas have a great attitude. It might be a bit of a cliché to set the video in a forest, but honestly, I can't imagine any other place where they could reflect the freedom they proclaim in this song, with anger but also with hope.
I can conclude that I enjoyed watching and listening Freedom of Breasts. It's great to know that there are some attractive girls in Panama with all the attitude of rock and roll, and above all, they're really good at it. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to see them live if I'm ever there or if they ever come here. Enjoy this great video again and again... and again and again, just like I did.
