With the culmination of the 20th century, the reign of the once omnipotent recording industry also culminates. That quasi-millennial monolith that ruled supreme show biz for decades, and that turned music into some sort of retaining wall that barely allowed the percolation, even, of the most basic and elemental creative exercises.
However, this nefarious paradigm – once thought unalterable – seems to lack breath of life in this new century.
What was once an industry dominated by profit dealers outside of artistic circles, today has become an exercise in self-management that has proven to be the new sustainable model for artists from all disciplines (specially music) to express their vision without any corporative filters or predetermined stipulations. The proverbial DIY (do it yourself) linked to the Punk scene of the 1980s and that today resonates forcefully through digital platforms that allow the artist to directly collect the fruits of his work and.
Without a doubt, that seems to be the model that will carry the new music “business” for, at least, the first half of the 21st Century.
Hispanodelia (hispanic psychedelia), fulfills that fundamental mission of being a reliable sample of six important elements of this new musical subculture – psychedelic, slow and heavy – that appears to be burning in the imagination of new generations from the Rio Bravo to Patagonia.
This effort, managed, designed and produced by the bands that participated, without the need for any record label as an intermediary; constitutes the maximum example of the power that the underground scene of Latin America has at an international level. It is not a coincidence that between 2018 and 2020, at least 20 record productions of Latin American groups were released in vinyl, tape and compact disc format by independent European labels.
Gone is the great machinery that swallows dreams and controls every movement and expression of the sound artisan, to make way for a kind of cultural anarcho-cooperative movement where the artist is the owner and master of his own voice, while maintaining direct contact with his audience without need for third parties.
In his species manifesto, the British naturalist, Charles Darwin, stated that “it is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor is it the most intelligent. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.”
Without a doubt, Hispanodelia smells of adaptation. The natural evolution of rock as an underground movement towards new sociocultural paradigms and a new vision of what musical art is for this century, with just two decades of life.
So, take Hispanodelia something like an invitation card for a quick glimpse at the future of music for years to come. One of the first (if not the first) invitations to observe from the distance that constitute time and space, the great multinational cultural and self-managed musical endeavors that will characterize this – barely infant – slow and heavy psychedelic scene in Latin America in the not too distant future.
