Laura and the Typewriter ft. Matthew Paris –Hop
After a hiatus during which Laura Torres paused everything to focus on motherhood, this Bogotá-born artist returns to the scene with a video she created a little over a year ago and is only now pleased to release. This work continues the high standard of promotional videos the artist has maintained throughout her career. And it definitely confirms that the visual aspect helps her, and quite a lot, to enhance each of her songs. In this case, using black and white to its advantage, the editing is agile, intense, and knows how to tell a story in sync with the rhythm of a catchy tune, where the viewer inevitably ends up singing along and fervently believing in the chorus that says «"Love is jumping, jumping, jumping.". The result is great.
He killed a motorcycle police officer – The Dog
One of the most famous bands from La Plata in history has decided to close out a successful year with a new song, whose video could easily be included among the most curious visual pieces of 2019. The song, made in the group's classic style, is accompanied by images of an almost wintry city., where a lost dog/man wanders, which is why its owner is desperate and imagining him in every corner of the city. It's a work crafted with gentle humor, yet one that doesn't shy away from the nostalgia inherent in each of this group's compositions. A fine effort that bodes well for El Mató in 2020.
Vigilant – Into the war
Iván Muñoz, a Chilean living in France, has been closely following the events in his country these days. And, despite being thousands of kilometers away from the conflict, he has become fully immersed in the dynamics of the protests. and has created a perfect anthem that reflects the intensity of the collision that is being experienced at this moment. To present it, he used the dramatic images captured by his friend Ignacio Osses Carrasco and combined them in a polished, aggressive, and gripping edit that offers no respite and becomes irrefutable proof of the events. The final product is terrifying, penetrating, and utterly addictive, due to its quality, energy, and because, although some may deny it, this is the damn reality of this moment.
