I have an activist friend who says he can’t fuck someone from the right. That, “at most, with a social democrat.” That is more or less the spirit of the topic that the Galician Montedapena (also a member of Lontreira) has just published, in this case together with Platerías, only narrating the exception to that maxim. The chorus says “I threw myself at a facha”, the title of this song, and at the end he advises, from humor more than from the teaching: “even if you go through a bad streak, never throw at a facha.” “I wasn’t in my best phase,” he explains.
In the wake of ‘Las Nazis Rubias’, the great song by El Gavira, Ruïnosa y las Strippers de Rahola, tells the story of someone who, flirting on social networks, goes to someone’s house and finds the cake with the little red flags.
Our Song of the Day for this Saturday begins acoustically, only to then reveal its post-punk spirit, even with a metal bridge. In addition, there is a spoken word part, which Samantha Hudson could have written, referring to very hackneyed phrases about “freedom of expression” and that “nothing can be said anymore.” Platerías -Mayra Vila’s project- adds some lines in which he “fucks with a Cayetana”, who did not “know she was a lesbian”.
The Ernie Records press release speaks of “real experience”, insists that it is based on “real events”, and is about “the contradiction that is sung and danced.” Officially it is about “how someone who belongs to a group that has been historically identified, questioned or violated can come to support political options that deny them rights, persecute them or put them in the spotlight.” The theme “does not seek consensus” but rather “conversation.”
It is the first single from a new EP by Montedapena, which will be released in March, and whose video he directed himself. The video begins in a urinal and includes shots as hilarious as the one illustrated in this news story. Both exchange guitar and drums, underscoring the importance of the song’s rhythmic basis. In truth, with another theme, the topic would be almost cool, almost the same.
