Siniestro Total
Spanish punk band from the 80's Im not a huge fan of them but they have a couple of songs that are really good. SINIESTRO TOTAL . . . ME PICA UN HUEVO - YouTube |
Las Cafeteras!
Yo no creo en fronteras, yo no crea en fronteras, yo cruzaré, yo cruzaré (I don’t believe in borders, I don’t believe in borders, I will cross them, I will cross them) Basically most of their songs are, just like this song, very moving and energetic. Also there are meaningful lyrics to the tracks. |

Havalina
*We already mentioned indie rock-band Havalina before (here and here), but we haven't talked about their two last albums yet: H (2012) and Islas de cemento ("Cement Islands", 2015). The confirmation that this is an outstanding group, really. Absolutely recommended. Don't worry if you can't understand some lyrics. The strongest point of these two albums is the music, and it's fantastic (anyway, in case you're interested, I've translated several lyrics here). These are four examples:
- Norte ("North", 2012) and Cristales rotos sobre el asfalto mojado ("Pieces of Glass on the Wet Road", 2015): Norte ♫ "He perdido el norte, ................................ I couldn't find north, ahora viajo al sur, ................................ now I go to the south, hacia el centro del calor. ................................ to the core of the heat. No más días fríos, ................................ [There will be] no more cold days, no más decepción, ................................ [there will be] no more disappointments, cada día un nuevo adiós. ................................ every day [there will be] a new goodbye. Derretir tu nieve, ................................ [I want] to melt your snow, empapar el sol, ................................ to drench the sun, embriagarnos de su luz. ................................ [I want us] to get intoxicated by its light. He perdido el norte, ................................ I couldn't find north, te he encontrado aquí, ................................ I've found you here, en el centro del calor. ................................ in the core of the heat." ♫ - Un reloj de pulsera con la esfera rota ("A Watch with a Broken Dial", 2015) and El estruendo ("The Blast", 2012): Un reloj de pulsera con la esfera rota ♫ "La hierba finalmente ................................ Grass has finally ha dejado de crecer ................................ stopped growing bajo el puente. ................................ under the bridge. Todos los recuerdos, ................................ All my memories, los trozos de mi cuerpo ................................ my buried enterrados ................................ body parts quedarán conmigo ................................ will remain with me para siempre; ................................ forever; se borrarán de aquí ................................ they will vanish from here lentamente. ................................ slowly. Mientras me desprendo ................................ While I get rid de este cuerpo ................................ of this body solamente espero ................................ I just hope sorprenderte ................................ that I surprise you con este salto mortal. ................................ with this deadly jump. Mi lengua y mi cerebro ................................

Mientras me desprendo ................................ While I get rid de este cuerpo ................................ of this body solamente espero ................................ I just hope sorprenderte ................................ that I surprise you con este salto mortal. ................................ with this deadly jump." ♫ |
Havalina: Muerdesombra
^ ^ ^
And in 2017... a new album! Released only five days ago. It is titled Muerdesombra, which could be translated as Shadowbiter. Once again, we can see the influences from psychedelic stoner rock: - Alta Tormenta I ("High Storm I") and Abismoide ("Abyssoid"): Alta Tormenta I ♫ "Después de un lento atardecer ................................ After a long sunset habrá una Alta Tormenta; ................................ there will be a High Storm; ya van cuatro este mes. ................................ the fourth one this month. Mis recuerdos no consiguen permenecer, ................................ My memories are unable to remain, rocas y truenos ocupan su lugar. ................................ rocks and thunders take their place. Otro lento amanecer ................................ Another one long sunrise abrazado al destino. ................................ tied to destiny. Su tacto es frío; ................................ Its touch is cold; la muerte lo mantiene vivo. ................................ death keeps it alive. Me busca, me encuentra ................................ It looks for me, it finds me, la Alta Tormenta. ................................ the High Storm. Me quiere, nos quiere. ................................ It loves me, it loves us. No temas, ya te encontrará. ................................ Don't be afraid, it will find you. Hemos venido a jugar, ................................ We have come to play, las piezas encajan a la perfección. ................................ pieces fit together perfectly. En otro lento anochecer ................................ During another one long sunset he preguntado al viento. ................................ I've asked the wind a question. Su voz es suave, su tacto difuso. ................................ Its voice is soft, its touch is vague. Me busca, me encuentra ................................ It looks for me, it finds me, la Alta Tormenta. ................................ the High Storm. Me quiere, nos quiere. ................................ It loves me, it loves us. No temas, ya te encontrará. ................................ Don't be afraid, it will find you. Y tras dejar este lugar ................................ And after leaving this place la Tormenta vuelve a arrasar ................................ the Storm razes everything again, y de una vez nos hace entender ................................ and all at once it makes us realize que no somos nada. ................................ that we are nothing.

Be afraid... teme.... ................................ be afraid... teme. ................................ be afraid. Ya viene. ................................ It's coming on." ♫ - Órbitas ("Orbits") and Malditos mamíferos ("Damn Mammals"): Órbitas ♫ "Puedo soltarme y agarrarme en cualquier lugar. ................................ I can leave or settle anywhere. Sólo quiero estar orbitando en tu interior. ................................ I just want to be orbiting on your inside. En tu pesar no hay dolor, ................................ In your sadness there is no pain, sólo gravedad. ................................ it's just gravity, Sólo gravedad. ................................ It's just gravity. Hay palabras que no saben aterrizar. ................................ Some words can't touch down. Lo que nos une no nos sabe separar. ................................ What unites us is unable to break us up. No es dolor, sólo gravedad. ................................ It's not pain, just gravity. Somos fuertes. ................................ We are strong. Somos fuertes. ................................ We are strong. Aunque no decidas dónde ir, ................................ Even if you don't decide where to go, llévame contigo siempre. ................................ always take me with you. Llévame contigo siempre. ................................ Always take me with you Hay planetas que no entienden su orbitar. ................................ Some planets don't understand how their orbit works. Somos fuertes aunque a veces sólo puedas ver ................................ We are strong, though sometimes you can only see la distancia. ................................ the distance. No es dolor, ................................ It's not pain, sólo gravedad. ................................ it's just gravity. Sólo gravedad. ................................ It's just gravity. ................................ Sólo gravedad. ................................ Just gravity. Sólo gravedad. ................................ Just gravity." ♫ P.S.: Brilliant analogy between an elliptical orbit and a relationship: Sometimes it looks like your partner is going to leave forever, but actually "it's just gravity". As songs says: "Some planets don't understand how their orbit works. / We are strong, though sometimes you can only see the distance". |

From a chart-topping album of Mexican pop that Gloria Trevi made as a nineteen-year-old:-
It's a deceptively calm song from a woman whose stage antics were outrageous and whose private life just went right off the scale - not down the usual road of drug abuse, but because she fell in love with the serial paedofile who was her manager. Her sad saga is like a real-life OTT Mexican soap opera. |
Quote:
^ Yes, that's a great album that shone a light on a bunch of largely forgotten musicians. One result was that Ruben Gonzalez, pianist and team player in the Buena Vista Social Club was given the chance to record his own álbum (Introducing Ruben Gonzalez). My fave track is Mandinga :- ... or is it Tumbao. Both tracks have extended piano improvs, but Tumbao fades out after a mere 5 mins. :( |
