Special District – That is
Officially, they began activities as a group in 1988. They were never the most popular, but every musician who saw them on stage or listened to their recordings expresses their utmost respect for them. They reunite and warn, therefore, that he has returned «"the most Bogota band of all time"». They are called Special District And it's quite possible that if you're under forty you've never heard of them, but I assure you, as soon as you see them, the first thing you'll say is... «"and these old folks"», but rather «"Well then, their sound is fresh."». His forte has always been creating catchy songs, crafted with a healthy dose of humor and intelligence, and with a very particular definition of the word "rock," incorporating a strong Latin flavor and instrumental virtuosity that never goes overboard, always maintaining good taste. Under the auspices of Gaira Local Music, the seal of Carlos Vives, They've released this comeback single, accompanied by a simple yet beautifully shot video featuring the trio's ever-present smiles, their joy at returning evident. Welcome back!
The first thing to say is that, at the time of writing this note, after only 4 days on social media, this video had already been played more than one million one hundred thousand times and we are talking about a seventeen-year-old artist, without the support of a multinational record label or a financial muscle similar to that of Bill Gates. Trap music, whether we like it or not, arrived with great force in Argentina and its surroundings, and is definitely part of the soundtrack of recent generations. And it's not just because of their sonic renewal: They also bring a language that new listeners understand and crave, and they know how to complement their productions with hilarious and outrageous videos. This clip, made by Crane Films, It is colorful, bold, friendly, and has enough zombie entrails to disgust and amuse the viewer.
Ana Tijoux – #Cacerolazo
It's a timely and opportunistic video. And we mean that in the best sense of the word. These days, for many people to understand or become aware of the social problems in Latin American countries, memes, emoji animations, explicit videos, and catchy chants are needed.. And that is what the Chilean artist Ana Tijoux presents on this occasion to narrate and present to the largest possible audience what is happening in Santiago and other cities. This clip is a compilation of popular reactions to the declaration of war by a president who boasted a few days ago that his country was an oasis, and where his wife ended up saying that what is happening is an alien invasion. In short, Tijoux throws us an intense pamphlet with moving images to immerse us in the film of reality.
