Valparaiso suddenly started to play in the corners of the city a sound, a bit of troubadours and acoustic guitars with deep lyrical poetry. One thing that initially went unnoticed by many because the sound is anything but new, in ways reminiscent of other similar styles and heard: The Cuban nueva trova, the new song of the 80's, the new Chilean song from the 70's. Although references are inevitable, something sounded quite fresh. Thus, a new generation of young singers and musicians are creating the soundtrack of this Valparaíso awakening from its slumber and the sound track comes very well to port, quite within the bohemian concept city, completely rooted in the culture of bars, vessels filled with media and environments saturated with cigarette smoke, conversation, guitar playing and poetry.
Trova, rock, Latin sounds, an interesting urban fusion that rescues the legacy of other previous musicians headed by the same path. Although we tend to define them as rock I find them closer to the culture of the singers and folk pop fusion, however the labels do not matter for a group of musicians that grows and progresses.
They are not all of Valparaiso. Some are from other cities like San Antonio and Santiago, but the port has given a habitat that the feedback of poetry and bohemian, and they create their works full of honest and beautiful dreams, love and social consciousness.
Thus, this new generation of musicians has literally taken the stage at city events, captivating an audience that closely follows and knows the effects of their performances, singing their folk songs and looks new. It also establishes a close relationship with these artists so far from the Chilean Farandulera culture. You can see them walking around town, simple, friendly, taking a coffee in Plaza Aníbal Pinto, poses no divas, or collected due to their presentations, there is significant camaraderie between them.
Pascuala Ilabaca (great songwriter, musician and singer), Nano Stern (beautiful lyrics, great guitarist and violinist), Chinoy (an urban poet, a mix of Bob Dylan and Silvio Rodriguez) Kaskivano (pure passion, rebellion , force), Camila Moreno (telluric power of Chilean women. She alone has the burden of Led Zeppelin. It's as if Bjork had been made to make songs with tempo Mapuche), Gepe (urban melancholy of Morrissey to Victor Jara) and others continue to rise this move porteña singing solo or in bands you are renewing the bohemian character Valparaiso, poetic and rebellious.
is a growing movement that flows to a search of identity that is revealed and rebels, who rose seduces with a beautiful voice and lyrics with music search and proposal and therefore calls him to previous generations.
is truly a pleasure to make this generation of passionate artists who are not afraid to transgress televised speech that stuns the senses of the public, raising his voice, that break the mold and boldly out of the script.
Here are these musicians from Valparaiso begin to add new items to our songbook guitar.
Here are these heroes armed with wooden guitars.
