Hi Andrés! How are things going? Man, these tales brought tears to my eyes. This band, as well as the rest of the musicians and artists in our country (ARG) are entangled with our history. I mean, it's art, it's the representation of the feelings of a person, a group, a society and well, you've said it; you didn't need to live those years of history to feel it, because the memories arise through the tears falling on your cheeks, the vibes you had definitely felt while you were all singing out loud the lyrics of those stories.
It always blows my mind how something so close to home, so well known by me and my fellow music lovers from Argentina, a band that's been in our lives for so long that sometimes we forget they're there, can wake up so many feelings and create such a beautiful timeline in other people's lives. It makes me so happy that you got the chance to experience this with your loved ones.
Hola amiga, todo bien por este lado de la cordillera! In general, I feel that Latin American musicians have a way more profound link to the political and social climate of the region than most artists in the USA. Think about, for example, the fact that Ruben Blades is from Panama, but still wrote this song that applies to so many of our countries that have unfortunately lived through dark times. Did you know that my father, who was a prisoner under Pinochet here in Chile, fled to Argentina after he was released from prison? He lived for several years in Buenos Aires before moving to the USA with my Mom, who was ALSO living in Argentina, but farther north in Mercedes, Corrientes! Un abrazo!

Lots of love and hugs for you!
