Minor satellite ft. Bea Mar – De Facto Powers
It's a confusingly beautiful song. Anyone might suspect on first listen that it's a tender, sweet, even corny tune. On a second or third listen, we begin to discover that the lyrics speak of disappointment, failure, and, perhaps for the first time in the history of indie pop, of post-truth and monsters of shamelessness. And yet, we continue to praise the recording, because it contains a particular sensitivity that, amidst its rough delicacy, moves us, seduces us. The video for this Peruvian project, while strangely produced with multiple cameras and a visual narrative typical of studio recording, comes alive and becomes an attractive product when we see the chats between fantasy characters superimposed on it. emoticons, once again representing on screen that feeling of precious bewilderment that completely captivates us.
Gas Lab – Sunrise
If you don't know him, it's time to listen to what he does. He goes by the name Gas Lab and is one of the hip hop and jazz producers and musicians we feel deserves the most recognition from audiences across the continent. What this brilliant musician does moves between a brief smile and nostalgia, and you can feel the perfect affliction in each of his compositions. On this occasion, he is accompanied by clarinetist and saxophonist Juan Klappenbach, from the Brazofuerte Orchestra, And in just over two minutes, it pleasantly melts our hearts and makes us believe that elegance still belongs to the melancholic. The video, made in the Dominican Republic, skillfully complements its short soundtrack with beautiful cinematography and delicate editing that gracefully allows time to pass.
Lido Pimienta – That thing you do
This Colombian singer, who has lived in Canada for several years, has always strived to recover and share with the world, using her own unique style, the sounds of the Atlantic Coast, her birthplace. Fortunately, she avoids the obvious pitfalls of electro-tropical fusion performers., It achieves exciting notes that directly shake the soul, without thinking about the cunning rules of the genre imposed by immediate producers. His work feels honest, true, adventurous, and beautiful. For the recording of his video, Pimienta went to San Basilio de Palenque, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as it was the first free town in colonial America, and assembled with the Kumbé dance group An impeccable choreography, perfectly suited to the lens that accurately captured the beauty of the body movements and the colors of everything displayed in the landscape. A superb piece of work.
