One of our favorite groups- Colombian rockeros Aterciopelados- released their latest album today!Entitled “Rio” the album emphasizes environmentalism and, more specifically, the need for clean waterways and access to potable water. Lead singer Andrea Echeverri and partner/bassist Hector Buitrago have lent their support to a campaign calling for constitutional amendment preserving water as a fundamental right.
The album’s title track symbolizes Aterciopelados’ social awareness combined with their unique rock sound. “The waters of the river come running, singing / they go through the city dreaming to be clean, to be clear” sings Echeverri in Spanish as the tune is dedicated to the protection of the Bogotá River.
Other songs on the album like "Dia Paranormal" talk about social injustice while "Bandera" focuses on immigration.
With gratitude to Nacional Records, here’s the single “Rio” from Aterciopelados which you can download via the link below. We hope you enjoy it!
