Fortified Rice Market Analysis by Emerging Growth Factors and Revenue Forecast To 2033

The fortified rice market value is projected to be US$ 20.20 billion in 2023 and the market is expected to reach US$ 34.50 billion by 2033, recording a CAGR of 5.5%. High solubility and ability to form an elastic gel at high temperatures of 80°C make it ideal for high-temperature applications.  Governments worldwide are increasingly taking action to improve  nutritional value in food products.

Acute and chronic malnutrition, as well as vitamin and mineral deficiencies, damage the health, productivity, and development of about half of India’s children. Productivity, development, and health can all be negatively impacted by micronutrient deficits.

It is feasible to solve the problem by adding vitamins and minerals to everyday foods like rice, as well as by supplementing micronutrients and changing up diets. This has led to the fortification of rice, which has emerged as a sustainable & cost-effective measure for providing nutrition to people globally.

The worldwide food and beverage sector is anticipated to expand as more fortified rice with high acyl levels is used in milk products, plant-based protein drinks, fruit juices, and other beverages.  High-acyl-fortified rice is also used as a suspension element for milk products, plant-based protein drinks, and fruit juices.

Key Takeaways from Market Study

The fortified rice market is expected to record a CAGR of 5.5% over the forecast period.

According to estimates, the fortified rice market in the China and India remains strong throughout the forecast period.

By 2033, China is expected to hold a 40% share in Asia Pacific and its market size is expected to be  US$ 8.82 billion.

Crónica DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL MADRID 2019

Crónica y fotos de lo vivido en el DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL MADRID que cerró ayer sus puertas en esta edición de 2019 que ha contado con bandas como TOOL, SCORPIONS, SLIPKNOT, SUM 41, PAPA ROACH, SABATON, AMON AMARTH, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS y muchos más

Una vez más se celebra este año 2019 el Download Festival en su edición de Madrid. La edición de 2018 fué un éxito rotundo, pero quedaron ciertas dudas en el aire sobre la continuidad o no de la franquicia madrileña del Download. Finalmente y para suerte de todos, las cosas han salido bien y este año tenemos de nuevo DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL MADRID.

Ya la organización en las pasadas ediciones había sido bastante buena, pero este año solo puedo aplaudir ante lo que desde mi punto de vista es una organización excepcional. Buenos acceso y rápidos, mucho personal, sistema de pago cómodo, puntualidad, barras más que de sobra, baños cómodos y suficientes… La única pega, el calor, pero creo que de esto no le podemos echar la culpa a los del Download ¿verdad?  

En cuanto al cartel, ¿que decir? Esto es como lo de la selección de fútbol, todos tenemos nuestra alineación y nunca estamos contentos al 100 por 100, pero lo cierto es que tenemos bandas para todos los gustos con una mezcla de diferentes estilos, tendencias e incluso generaciones del Rock.

De una u otra forma Download se despide hasta 2020 reconfirmando su posición como cita musical de referencia, reuniendo durante tres días a 70.000 fans dispuestos a disfrutar de las mejores bandas nacionales e internacionales del género.

Crónica de la primera jornada del Download Festival Madrid 2019

Con la hora pegada al culo nos equipamos con la pulsera y algo de refrigerio mientras de fondo sonaban VITA IMANA que con su nueva formación desembarcaron en Madrid. 

Ya dentro del recinto empezamos a seleccionar objetivos para poder disfrutar . Para los más cañeros y resistentes al calor teníamos a CHILDREN OF BODOM en el Main Stage 2 peleando contra la naturaleza pero sin reservarse mientras LiLY y BRUTUS se repartían los otros escenarios.

[themoneytizer id=»21469-1″]

PAPA ROACH en Download Festival Madrid 2019

Uno de los platos fuertes de la jornada era PAPA ROACH. Los americanos salieron al escenario cuando ya el sol empezaba a dar algo de tregua y aún así sudaron de lo lindo. Derrocharon simpatía, energía y calidad a partes iguales elaborando un repertorio bastante completo en el que hicieron las delicias de sus seguidores. Toda la banda marcó un alto nivel con temas como ..To Be Loved, Between Angels and Insects, Scars pero hay que hacer mención especial a Jacoby que con su habitual estilo no paró ni un instante y de alguna forma obligó a los miles de asistentes a saltar, cantar, corear y gritar en cada uno de los temas. Por supuesto no faltaron otros temas como Help o Born for Greatness dentro de lo que como he dicho un repertorio muy completo en el que podríamos destacar el pinito que se marcan al hacer algunos versos del tema Scars en español y el homenaje al fallecido Keith Flint interpretando Firestarter de The Prodigy,

Como curiosidades tenemos la rotura de la caja de la batería el último tramo del concierto o lo ocurrido con parte del público en Last Resort que por alguna razón muchos daban por hecho que iba a ser el último tema y esto hizo que la peregrinación al segundo escenario empezará antes de tiempo y algunos escucharán desde la distancia el final del repertorio.

En resumen un 9.5 para estos chicos que ya no son tan chicos y que llevan casi 20 años navegando por los distintos estilos del rock.

SABATON en Download Festival Madrid 2019

Sin tiempo a respirar saltamos al segundo escenario para ver a SABATON que con su habitual temática presentaban un montaje muy completo donde un tanque hacía las veces de base elevada para la batería y una trinchera de sacos cubría todo el frontal del escenario y ocultaba los cañones de llamas que acompañaron a la banda en toda la actuación. 

La legión de seguidores de esta banda es cada vez mayor, y a base de esfuerzo y entrega en sus directos han ido subiendo escalones en los carteles europeos hasta el punto en el que están ahora. 

Brodén, Sundström y compañía tienen preparado ya un nuevo trabajo del que dejaron caer alguna pildorita y que tiene pinta de venir a asentar la posición de estos vikingos en la escena del heavy metal internacional.

Los suecos nos tiene acostumbrados a espectáculos cada vez más completos y con más adornos, y esta vez no iba a ser menos. Fuego, humo y pirotecnia acompañaron a la banda en cada uno de los temas. El sonido tardó un poco en estar perfectamente ajustado, pero una vez que se dió con la tecla todo fué sobre ruedas. 

Arrancaron con Ghost Division con el público entregado, coreando hasta el punto que se hacía complicado escuchar a Joakim. Es curioso lo de este frontman que por indumentaria y pose estática puede dar la sensación de no transmitir, y es todo lo contrario. A lo largo del concierto no para ni un instante, dirige el cotarro hacia dentro, pero también hacia fuera, gestionando siempre con habilidad las emociones y respuestas del público. 

El resto de la banda no se queda atrás, con un estilo eso sí más clásico de estilo hard o power nórdico, Chris Rörland, Tommy Johanson, Hannes Van Dahl y sobre todo Pär Sundström tienen siempre un momento para posar, reclamar merecida atención e invitar a los asistentes a participar de su fiesta.

El repertorio de nuevo bastante completo incluyó temas de toda su discografía como Resist and Bite, Bismarck, The Lion From North, The Lost Battalion o las imprescindibles Primo Victoria o To Hell and Back

Muy buen sabor de boca me dejaron SABATON y estoy deseando poder darle caña a su nueva obra.

Scorpions en Download Festival Madrid 2019

Y eso no para, ya que con el tiempo justo para lo imprescindible, volvemos rápidamente al escenario principal 1 donde ya aparece el logo de SCORPIONS en las pantallas con una intro digital en la que un helicóptero recorre las calles de una ciudad hasta dejar caer a los músicos sobre el escenario entre gritos y ovaciones de un muy numeroso público

SCORPIONS es de esas bandas que según pasan los años hay algo que no pierden, el cariño del público. Llevan 50 años en la carretera y parece que todavía les queda alguno por delante, y me alegro.

Para los que no nos solemos perder un bolo de Scorpions, el de ayer no ha deparado ninguna sorpresa. Un concierto completo, con su repaso a los grandes clásicos, a temas más recientes y con los habituales solos de guitarra y batería que para los seguidores bandas como estas no pueden faltar nunca.

Durante los primeros compases del show note algo flojo a Klaus, de hecho me resultó incluso preocupante no solo por la forma de acortar las frases al cantar sino también por la forma de desplazarse por el escenario. Un par de temas después esto cambió, y pudimos disfrutar de un Meine que una vez más se dejó contagiar por el calor del público.

Arrancaron con Going Out With a Bang pidiendo desde el minuto uno la colaboración del respetable, que obedientemente correspondió. Otro de los temas de su último álbum en caer fue We Built This House que pese a ser un tema de 2015, llega a la patata como los grandes clásicos ochenteros y además al venir acompañado de un video liryc permite que el público lo cane de principio a fin. Por su puesto la banda aprovecha su éxitos etapa de los ochenta para cargar el repertorio de innumerables himnos. MAke it Real con la ya clásica enorme bandera de España de fondo, The Zoo, Coast to Coast, Blackout…

Es lo que tiene llevar una vida haciendo rock del bueno, que como te pongas a elegir canciones, no terminarías. 

Por supuesto no faltaron se superclásicos requete cantados por todos a cada uno de los asistentes. Wind of Change, Big City Nights, o el trilladisimo Still Loving You en el que más de uno aprovecho para hacer una videollamada a su pareja y dedicarle el tema en directo (madre mía esto de las nuevas tecnologías no tiene tope). 

El concierto acabaría con Rock You Like a Hurricane, con el personal completamente entregado y estirando los coros hasta dejarnos sin voz…

Scorpions, son Scorpions. Unos grandes por los que los años pasan, evidentemente, pero eso sí, más lento que para los demás.

Cierre de la primera jornada

Turbonegro serían los encargados de cerrar esta primera jornada que ha dejado muy buen sabor de boca y ganas de más Download…

En el apartado artístico Download ha tenido tres cabezas de cartel de lo más variado: SCORPIONS, que se ha convertido en una de las grandes leyendas del hard rock mundial, SLIPKNOT, que reafirmó su reinado dentro del metal, y la esperada actuación de TOOL, de vuelta en Madrid tras 13 años y responsable de llevar el metal progresivo a otro nivel. 

En la siguiente página os contamos lo vivido en la segunda jornada del festival  

Crónica de la segunda jornada del Download Festival Madrid 2019

Vamos ahora con la segunda jornada del festival… Con el calor castigando de igual forma que el viernes, con un aumento de público también importante y con la aparición de malos olores que recordaban a lo acaecido el año pasado, pero que en ningún caso llegaron a ese punto.

El plato fuerte de la jornada era SLIPKNOT, pero antes vamos a repasar otros momentos interesantes del sábado.

Se pudo disfrutar de varias y variadas bandas nacionales con estilos para todos los gustos como el rock juvenil como el de Walking with Wolves que abrían la jornada desperezando a los más madrugadores con la ayuda de refrescantes manguerazos. Con un aire más pesado y profesional llegaban Graveyard, demostrando que pese a no ser nórdicos, practican un DEath MEtal de calidad donde destacan temas como With Fear And Thirst, Faces Of The Faceless. El Altar Del Holocausto o Ánteros fueron otros de los nacionales que adornaron el día.

RIVAL SONS dieron una lección de clase y carisma en un bolo que arrancó algo frío pero que poco a poco fue empapando al público y de esta forma revirtiendo sobre la propia banda que terminó entregada al máximo. Una banda con estilo propio y que recuerda a muchas, y que cuenta con un vocalista espectacular.

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS llegaba como otro de esos nombres de gran repercusión en el pasado y que generaban ciertas dudas entre los seguidores. Sin embargo desde el arranque dejaron claro que están vivos y no pretenden vivir de las rentas. Lucieron un repertorio con temas de sus época dorada de los 90 pero también recurrieron a sus últimos trabajos y todo empostó perfectamente.

AMON AMARTH en Download Festival 2019

Uno de los momentos del día fue la actuación de los vikingos AMON AMARTH que con un montaje algo más discreto de lo habitual pero con toda la entrega por parte de la banda que sabe cómo liarla bien y hacer que el público lo pase en grande.

Traían debajo del brazo su nuevo álbum ‘Berserker’ del que descargaron algunas canciones para completar un setlist en el que no faltarán sus clásicos The Pursuit Of Vikings , Death In Fire o Guardians Of Asgaard entre otras. 

Un show repleto de fuego, efectos, humo y buen rollo y con un Hegg que se metió la respetable en el bolsillo con su actitud y sus ganas de hacérnoslo pasar bien. Épicos, divertidos y geniales… Bravo por vosotros AMON AMARTH!

Crónica de SLIPKNOT en el Download Festival Madrid 2019

Llegaba el momento más grande del festival para una gran mayoría de fans. El regreso de SLIPKNOT que tras unos años en el dique seco han vuelto y de qué manera.

Sin duda ha sido el momento de mayor masificación en todo el festival y es que la ocasión no era para menos. SLIPKNOT volvían a Madrid 10 años después.

El concierto arranca con People=Shit mientras Taylor y los suyos saltan al escenario y ya se puede percibir que viene algo grande.

Velocidad, potencia y entrega son las constantes en el repaso que hacen a su discografía en un setlist con clásicos como  Get This, Before I Forget o Psychosocial y nuevas propuestas como Unsainted que es una adelanto del nuevo álbum de la banda.

Pero más allá de un setlist potente con cortes del estilo de  The Devil In I, Prosthetics, Vermillion o Sulfur y que para algunos se quedó algo escaso, el espectáculo fue de los buenos, con una banda entregada que maneja hábilmente los sentimientos del público y que hace que este se mueva a su ritmo y arrope cada una de las interpretaciones. 

En cuanto a Corey Taylor, deja claro que es un frontman en plenitud, con ganchos y recursos muy variados. Y lo de Sid Wilson, espectacular… Todo el conciertos en movimiento, interactuando con banda y público y animando sin descanso.

Enter Shikari, Berri Txarrak y Leprous como cierre de jornada

Con los cuerpos ya cansados tras un día intenso y exprimiendo al físico al máximo los más valientes llegaban a las últimas actuaciones de la noche entre las que destacan los ingleses Enter Shikari que pelearon en su actuación compartiendo horario con SLIPKNOT. Después de todo esto llegaría el turno para Berri Txarrak que derrocharon calidad y pudieron aprovechar el tirón de del escenario 1 para tener una ambiente fantástico en su actuación en el Main stage 2 sirviendo como antesala de una fantástica actuación también de los amigos de LEPROUS.

En la siguiente página os contamos como ha ido la última jornada del Download Festival Madrid 2019

Crónica de la tercera jornada del Download Festival Madrid 2019

Llegamos a la última jornada del festival donde a parte del plato fuerte TOOL, hay unas cuantas bandas más que interesantes de las que disfrutar, y pese a que el calor no da tregua, las legiones de fans vuelve a concentrarse en la Caja Mágica para vivir este día de clausura.

Como si notara el festival que la fiesta estaba en su recta final, el domingo arrancó flojo. Bones Of Minerva con muy poco público y algo de adelanto tenía la papeleta de darle vidilla al domingo, no fue fácil. Después llegaría Fiedn con una actuación bastante sosa que no llegó a conectar con el público para nada. Y lo de nothing. Nowhere sinceramente no hay por donde cogerlo. Debo ser un clásico de esto del rock, o un dinosaurio si lo preferís, pero la fórmula de Joseph Edward se me escapa para un festival de este tipo.

[themoneytizer id=»21469-1″]

Por fin llegaba BRASS AGAINST para dar vida al festival y patear algunos culos. La potencia y furia de su vocalista Sophia Urista junto con una buena selección de versiones hizo que el público enganchara y se congregará en torno al escenario.

La cosa iba mejorando y TOUNDRA no iba a parar esa progresión. Su rock instrumental repartió caña y buenas sensaciones entre el público que se dejó llevar y contagiar por su sentimiento y buen hacer.

Crónica de SOULFLY  en el Download Madrid

Uno de los nombres fuertes de la jornada era SOULFLY que venía presentando su nuevo trabajo “Ritual”. Y que muy a pesar del público fue demasiado protagonista del setlist ofrecido por la banda.Para los que conocemos la banda, sabemos lo que vamos a ver, y esto nos permite disfrutar de unos directos que son muy correctos y bastante completos. Pero lo cierto es que si estas buscando ver una reedición de sepultura , no lo vas a encontrar. Si bien el estilo es el mismo, la fuerza no lo es y quizá por ello podemos disfrutar al más de la técnica y menos de la potencia.

El público respondió en las fases del setlist más clásicas como con Back to the Primitive y permaneció algo apagado en los temas más nuevos.

Fever 333 y Architects. La cara y la Cruz

Fever 333 llegaban desde California desconocidos para muchos pero muy comentados por la mayoría. Es una banda de directos. Si te escuchas sus temas, quizás puedas echar de menos ciertas melodías o complejidades, pero cuando los ves en directo solo puedes hacer una cosa, ¡flipar! Volteretas, saltos, movimiento constante, acrobacias… Si te los perdiste, apunta su nombre y para la próxima no falles.

Architects para mi fueron una decepción, un sonido malísimo, de lo peor del festival, fue desdibujando la actuación de la banda que estaba evidentemente incómoda al igual que su público. Una pena.

SUM 41 en el Download Festival Madrid 2019

Otros que tenían una buena legión de fans esperando eran los chichos de SUM41 que desplegaron un set con 10 temas que cubrieron una hora de actuación justo en tiempo, pero con una intensidad total.  incluyendo pistas de toda la vida como “Fat Lip” y algún corte de su nuevo trabajo que verá la luz en pocos días. 

La gente lo pasó en grande y de nuevo había mucho sentimiento circulando entre los asistentes que cantaron, corearon y bailaron al son de los SUM41.

  TOOL en el Download Festival Madrid 2019

Después de un montón de años sin dar señales de vida, TOOL regresaba a España para participar en esta última jornada de festival como cabez de cartel y en exclusiva.

Mientras estamos todos expectantes a la posible finalización de su nueva obra en breve, podemos quedarnos con lo que hemos vivido en este concierto y esperar/desear tener ese álbum en breve y poder disfrutar de la banda de nuevo por los escenarios de nuestro país.

La banda lo hizo de 10, con un sonido perfecto, una puesta en escena y una ejecución rozando la perfección. 

Estaba claro que venían a demostrar que eran los auténticos cabeza de cartel del festival y lo hicieron con Ænema, The Pot, Parábola, Descending, Schism, Invincible, Intolerance, Jambi, Forty Six & 2, Vicarious , Stinkfist como tarjeta de presentación.

TOOL es una banda de músicos excepcionales que disfrutan haciendo las cosas de forma excepcional, y perfecta. Olvídate de interacción con el público, bailes o cachondeos de ese tipo. Ellos tocan, a la perfección y montan un espectáculo sumamente profesional, que ha servido para muchos de nosotros como colofón del Download Festival este año.

… y alguna reflexión final

Download Festival Madrid y su acción social

Más allá de todo lo vivido hay que felicitarse por alguna cosa más. A lo largo del festival no se han registrado incidencias en el punto de información y atención contra el acoso, coordinado por personal especializado. Queremos felicitar a este equipo que ha contado además con cuatro miembros del proyecto #libresyautónomas, quienes han llevado a cabo una labor de sensibilización a lo largo de todo el recinto.  De esta forma, Download es primer festival privado en adherirse a la iniciativa #libresyautónomas, creada por el Ayuntamiento de Madrid en febrero de 2019, y cuya misión es promover la inserción laboral de mujeres víctimas de la violencia de género. Una formación a todos los trabajadores involucrados en Download ha completado el protocolo antiacoso de este año. 

También queremos destacar la colaboración con EL ENSAYADERO de AYUDA EN ACCIÓN, un proyecto de integración social para niños y niñas en riesgo de exclusión social en España que utiliza como principal herramienta la educación musical. Durante los tres días, los invitados del evento han podido realizar un donativo al recoger sus entradas en las taquillas. 

En resumen y más allá de filias y fobias, Download Festival Madrid ha sido un éxito, y confiamos en que lo siga siendo en futuras ediciones.

[rethinkingconceptualism]

The cultural magazine Amauta was founded and directed by Peruvian writer, journalist and politician José Carlos Mariátegui. The magazine collected contributions from intellectuals of the Peruvian avant-garde of the time and was responsible for disseminating the indigenist movement. It also introduced in Peru the Latin American avant-garde, as well as different European currents of thought and artistic movements of the time (psychoanalysis, surrealism, cubism, futurism or the new Russian narrative). 32 issues were published in its four years of existence (1926-1930) and it was distributed both nationally and internationally. 

Among its local collaborators were Peruvian intellectuals and artists from different regions of the country, such as the indigenists: the artist José Sabogal and Julia Condesido (Lima), the historian and anthropologist Luis Eduardo Valcárcel (Cusco), the poets Alejandro Peralta (Puno) and César Atahualpa Rodríguez (Arequipa), and the writer and poet Enrique López Albújar (Piura). In addition, the politician Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre (La Libertad), founder of the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA), collaborated from exile. Among his international contributors were Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Jorge Luis Borges, Miguel de Unamuno, André Breton and Diego Rivera.

Peruvian art historian Natalia Majluf co-curated with Beverly Adams (Blanton Museum of Art) the exhibition The Avant-garde Networks of Amauta: Argentina, Mexico, and Peru in the 1920s, which was presented at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS) (February 27-May 27, 2019) in Madrid, with stations at the Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI) (June 21-September 22, 2019) and the Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas at Austin (February 16-August 30, 2020). The press release of MNCARS highlights the following:

“The project questions the binary oppositions between nationalism and internationalism, localism and cosmopolitanism, criollismo and indigenismo, or tradition and modernity that have so far organised the discussion on this period. The magazine reflects a less dogmatic and polarized reality. (…)

In the same way, even today the group of indigenist painters led by José Sabogal is seen from the perspective imposed by the modernists of the 1930s and 1940s, who labeled these artists as traditionalists, excluding them from their particular historical narrative of modernity. The exhibition not only recovers indigenism to the field of the avant-garde, but – more broadly – it applies Amauta’s pluralistic gaze to rethink Latin American art of this period.”

The José Carlos Mariátegui Archive has digitised the magazine, that you can download here >>

La revista cultural Amauta fue fundada y dirigida por el escritor, periodista y político peruano José Carlos Mariátegui. La revista recogió contribuciones de intelectuales de la vanguardia peruana de aquel entonces y se encargó de difundir el movimiento indigenista. Asimismo, introdujo en el Perú el pensamiento de vanguardia en Latinoamérica, así como distintas corrientes de pensamiento y movimientos artísticos europeos del momento (el psicoanálisis, el surrealismo, el cubismo, el futurismo o la nueva narrativa rusa). En sus cuatro años de existencia (1926-1930) se publicaron 32 ejemplares y tuvo una distribución tanto nacional como internacional. 

Entre sus colaboradores locales destacan intelectuales y artistas peruanxs provenientes de distintas regiones del país, tales como lxs indigenistas: el artista José Sabogal y Julia Condesido (Lima), el historiador y antropólogo Luis Eduardo Valcárcel (Cusco), los poetas Alejandro Peralta (Puno) y César Atahualpa Rodríguez (Arequipa), y el escritor y poeta Enrique López Albújar (Piura). Además, colaboró desde el exilio el político Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre (La Libertad), fundador de la Alianza Popular Revolucionaria Americana (APRA). Entre sus colaboradores internacionales se encuentran Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Jorge Luis Borges, Miguel de Unamuno, André Breton y Diego Rivera. 

La historiadora del arte peruana Natalia Majluf co-curó con Beverly Adams (Blanton Museum of Art) la exposición Redes de vanguardia. Amauta y América Latina, 1926-1930, que fue presentada en el Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS) (27 de febrero al 27 de mayo de 2019) en Madrid, con estaciones en el Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI) (21 de junio al 22 de septiembre de 2019) y el Blanton Museum of Art de la Universidad de Texas en Austin (16 de febrero al 30 de agosto de 2020). El dossier de prensa del MNCARS destaca lo siguiente:

“El proyecto cuestiona las oposiciones binarias entre nacionalismo e internacionalismo, localismo y cosmopolitismo, criollismo e indigenismo, o tradición y modernidad que han organizado hasta ahora la discusión sobre el período. La  revista refleja una realidad menos dogmática y polarizada. (…)

De la misma forma, todavía hoy el grupo de pintores indigenistas liderado por José Sabogal es visto desde la perspectiva que impusieron los modernistas de los años treinta y cuarenta, quienes calificaron a estos artistas como tradicionalistas, excluyéndolos de su particular narrativa histórica de la modernidad. La exposición no sólo recupera el indigenismo para el campo de la vanguardia, sino que, de forma más amplia, aplica la mirada plural de Amauta para repensar el arte de América Latina de este período.”

🎶Música/Musique/音樂🎶

A friend of mine went on Instagram a few weeks ago and asked her mutuals for international music suggestions.  Naturally, ya neighborhood Black linguist right here responded immediately... despite seeing the post at about 4am her time in Madrid 😭  After having given my friend the lengthy (... or not-so-lengthy) list of artists I listen to on the daily, I decided to make a post about this!  So without further ado, here is my list of artists I listen to, as well as some of my favorite songs by them!  Album titles are in parentheses after the song titles.  And feel free to click on any song title you’d like to listen to!

SPANISH 🇵🇷🇨🇱🇨🇺

Calle 13 🇵🇷

I first came across Calle 13 through Shakira’s song “Gordita” from her album Sale El Sol waaaaaay back in 2010, but it wouldn’t be until my senior year in college (2019) when I started listening to their stuff.  Now I listen to literally ALL of their songs, but some of my favorites are:

“Latinoamerica” Feat. Totó La Momposina, Maria Rita y Susana baca (Entre Los Que Quieran)

“Digo Lo Que Pienso” (Entre Los Que Quieran)

“Muerte en Hawaii” (Entre Los Que Quieran)

“Todo Se Mueve” Feat. Seun Keti (Entre Los Que Quieran)

“El Aguante” (MultiViral)

“Multi_Viral” Feat. Kamilya Jubran, Tom Morello y Julian Assange (MultiViral)

“Cuando los Pies Besan el Piso” (MultiViral)

“Los Idiotas” (MultiViral)

“Perseguido” Feat. Biga Ranx (MultiViral)

“Que Lloren” (Los De Atrás Vienen Conmigo)

“Gringo Latin Funk” (Los De Atrás Vienen Conmigo)

“La Perla” Feat. Rubén Blades y La Chilinga (Los De Atrás Vienen Conmigo)

“Fiesta de Locos” (Los De Atrás Vienen Conmigo)

Residente 🇵🇷

One half of the act Calle 13, Residente made his solo career debut in 2017 with his self-titled album, the album that actually reintroduced me to Calle 13 in 2019.  Residente also has several released singles here and there, some of which being products of collaborations with Bad Bunny and others.  Here are some of my favorites from him:

“Guerra” (Residente)

“Apocalíptico” (Residente)

“Dagombas en Tamale” (Residente)

“Somos Anormales” (Residente)

“El Futuro Es Nuestro” (Residente)

“Bellacoso” Feat. Bad Bunny (Bellacoso - Single)

“Cántalo” w/ Ricky Martin y Bad Bunny (Cántalo - Single)

“René” (René - Single)

Danay Suárez 🇨🇺

In my last semester at my college I took a class called Afro-Latin History, a class I wish I found out about much sooner than I did.  That class seriously had me questioning my choice in major... IN MY LAST SEMESTER!!!  Seriously, EASILY one of the best classes I’ve taken in my entire life, no exaggeration.  ANYWAY (getting of topic, my bad 😅), in one class we were discussing a book called Negro Soy Yo (= Black I Am)  in which the author (Marc D. Perry) relates how hip-hop and rap are used to explore Cuba’s racial structure alignment and how it shifts along with the state’s change from a revolutionary socialist state to one functioning under capitalism.  Being inspired from such an interesting read, I decided to look for more Afro-Cuban musicians to listen to.  Next thing I know, I have Danay Suárez playing in my ear.  My favorite songs from her are:

”Closer Now” Feat. The Idan Raichel Project (Palabras Manuales)

“Integridad” Feat. Stephen Marley (Palabras Manuales)

“Yo Aprendi” (Polvo De La Humanidad)

“Las Bala” Feat. El B. (Palabras Manuales)

Ana Tijoux 🇨🇱

It’s thanks to 2 of my college friends that I learned about Ana Tijoux.  This Chilean rapera (= rapper) came to Scripps – one of the Claremont colleges; I went to Pomona – to give a talk about how she uses her music to communicate her political views (trash talking capitalism... my kind of political view) and to promote social justice, to keep it short and sweet.  These are my favorites from Ana Tijoux:

“1977” (1977)

“Somos Sur” Feat. Shadia Mansour (Vengo)

“Vengo” (Vengo)

“Antipatriarca” (Vengo)

“Creo en Ti” Feat. Juanito Ayala (Vengo)

“Oulala” (1977)

“Cacerolazo” (Cacerolazo - Single)

“Antifa Dance” (Antifa Dance - Single)

Ibeyi 🇨🇺(🇫🇷)

Now discovering Ibeyi happened completely randomly... through a targeted Facebook video placed on my timeline.  It was their music video of the song “Me Voy” featuring Mala Rodriguez that appeared.  No long story here: I watched it, became intrigued, looked them up to find that they’re *AFRO-CUBAN (and French) artists, became more intrigued, searched for and listened to more of their music, and ultimately fell in love with their sound.  The way their voices are so in sync with each other is ethereal; together they sound celestial!  Some of my favorites from them are:

“Me Voy” Feat. Mala Rodriguez (Ash)

“I Carried This for Years” (Ash)

“Deathless” Feat. Kamasi Washington (Ash)

“River” (Ibeyi)

“Behind the Curtain” (Ibeyi)

French 🇧🇪

Stromae 🇧🇪

I can’t exactly remember how I came across Stromae... I believe it was through a childhood friend of mine??  I know for a fact that she did mention him to me at some point before I started actually listening to his songs, but I’m not sure if it was via those conversations how I became motivated to give his music a try 🤔 Either way, I ended liking his music enough to listen to it constantly!  Here’s what kept me listening to Stromae:

“Papaoutai” (Racine Carrée)

OOOOOOOH I JUST REMEMBERED!!! 😃😃😃 It was through Pentatonix’s arrangement of his song “Papaoutai”!  I found myself loving their version and became curious of where they found this song to arrange.  Okay, back to the list:

“bâtard” (Racine Carrée)

“tous les mêmes” (Racine Carrée)

“carmen” (Racine Carrée)

“avf” (Racine Carrée)

“Dodo” (Cheese)

“Peace or Violence” (Cheese)

“Je Cours” (Cheese)

Portuguese 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Flavia Coelho 🇧🇷

I can’t thank God (and app developers) enough for an app like Shazam; if it wasn’t for this magical app, I wouldn’t have found out about Flavia Coelho.  By pure circumstance, I heard her song “Na Favela” on the radio while taking an uber to somewhere while back in college (sometime during senior year) in Southern California (MAN do I miss being out there 😭).  Fast forward to right after graduation, where I find myself in New York City: I'm out here for my college’s glee club tour, for which we had evening performances and free time during the day.  One day, I decided to go running in Central Park, and part of my preparation for any run consists of finding the right music to run to.  Normally I go with fast-paced, up-beat, arrogant rap stuff, but decided that I wanted this run to be an easy-going, enjoyable one – a run in which I’m not trying to improve my pace.  “What better music to listen to than Flavia Coelho’s,” I think.  Plus, it gave me an excuse (and plenty of time) to listen to an artist I recently discovered at the time.  Thanks to the run, I found a few favorite songs by her:

“Na favela” (Sonho Real)

“Se ligue” (Sonho Real)

“Paraiso” (Sonho Real)

“Por Cima” (Mundo Meu)

“Quer Vadiar” (Sonho Real)

“Leidi” (Sonho Real)

“Pai de Santo” (Mundo Meu)

I couldn’t find a more aurally-polished version of the song on youtube, so apologies!

“O Dom” (Mundo Meu)

Sergio Mendes 🇧🇷

Ooooh the great Sergio Mendes.  To be completely honest, there’s not much I can say about him except that I know he’s one of Brazil’s greatest and world-renown musicians... and that I came across him through the Wii game Samba de Amigos.  I couldn’t tell y’all how bad I wanted that game when I was 11... GOOD LORDT, WHEN I was ELEVEN!?  GOODNESS, how time passes! 😱 ANYWAY, there was one song I always played on that game called “Magalenha”.  At the time I didn’t know it was a Sergio Mendes song – when I looked it up, the artist that kept coming up was someone named Bellini and Mendoça do Rio.  So what happens next?  Well of course I download the song (FOR FREE and illegally thanks to L*mew*re... rip) and conduct even further research on those two artists I first found.  All of this searching would ultimately lead me down a web hole that led me to Sergio Mendes.  I admittedly have not listened to enough of his stuff, but here are a few that I currently fancy:

“Fanfarra” Feat. Alceu Do Cavaco (Brasileiro)

“Magalenha” (Brasileiro)

“What is This?” (Brasileiro)

“Simbora” Feat. Carlinhos Brown (Magic)

“Samba de Roda” Feat. Aila Menezes & Gracinha Leporace (Magic)

“One Nation” Feat. Carlinhos Brown (Magic)

“Mas Que Nada” (Mas Que Nada)

Carlinhos Brown 🇧🇷

It’s thanks to Sergio that I came across Carlinhos Brown... now how exactly did I find out about Senhor (=Mr.) Brown through Senhor Mendes, I'm not sure; there were so many opportunities for this to have happened!  I mean, if you take a look at all of Sergio’s music, you’ll find LOADS of collaborations between him and Carlinhos Brown.  Also, bruh, I thought I loved Sergio’s stuff when I stumbled upon it... sorry Sergio, but my love for you doesn’t hold a candle to my LOVE for Carlinhos Brown!  Here are some of my favorites that I still listen to (and futilely try to dance the samba to... can someone teach me please??) on a regular basis:

“Afroascendente” (Marabô)

I couldn’t this song on youtube, so if y’all are subscribed to any music streaming services, look it up on there.  Apologies!

“Vidacarnaval” (Marabô)

“Carlito Marron” (Carlinhos Brown E Carlito Marron)

“Fofoqueira” (Mixturada Brasileira)

“Mixturação” Feat. Ivete Sangalo (Mixturada Brasileira)

“Ói Pra Cá” Feat. Filhos de Gandhy (Ói Pra Cá - Single)

“Mulemba Xangóla” in collaboration w/ Bonga & Marisa Monte (Onda Sonora: Red Hot + Lisbon)

“Ô Vida” Feat. Nina de Freitas (Rio 2: Music From The Motion Picture)

“Sapo Cai” Feat. Mikael Mutti (Rio: Music From The Motion Picture)

Emicida 🇧🇷

Another Afro-descended artist doing his thing, Emicida is one of my favorite types of artists: a conscious rapper.  I know this by looking up translations of his songs... cause ya girl ain’t got NO understanding of Portuguese to be listening to songs and be like “oooh that was clever!” like she does with Calle 13... BUT I’’L GET THERE, THIS I SWEAR!!!  Emicida is still fairly new to me; I found his stuff thanks to Ibeyi (from the Spanish section above).  Regardless, I still have few songs from him I listen to often:

“Libre” Feat. Ibeyi (AmarElo)

“Principia” Feat. Pastor Henrique Vieira, Fabiana Cozza & Pastoras do Rosário (AmarElo)

“Eminência Parda” Feat. Jé Santiago, Papillon & Dona Onete (AmarElo)

“AmarElo (Sample: Sujeito de Sorte - Belchior)” Feat. Majur & Pablo Vittar (AmarElo)

“Hacia El Amor” Feat. Ibeyi (Hacia El Amor - Single)

Japanese 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵

OOP, what’s that I hear?  It’s ANIME TIME!!!  LOL jk... BUT to be fair, I say this because literally all of the Japanese songs that I listen to come from a bunch of anime series I’ve seen throughout the past 10 years.  So yeah, get ready to experience a bit of my weeb years, heh heh.  I’m gonna categorize the songs by anime series title instead of by artist name:

A Hispanic Tragedy

Will they come back? (Urbanización de Roquetas de Mar, December 2020)

What does predictability look like?  Well, on the morning of July 18, 2020, it looked like heavy, halting traffic on the A 4 heading south from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. I normally avoid motorways, but on that late morning I had little choice. The terrain of salt pans and tidal flats south of Cadiz leaves no other option if you're going that way.

But why were there so many cars on the road? What was going on? I stared at the cars, full of families, and then I knew: it was traffic coming from much further north, from Seville and Madrid or even Barcelona, and they were all headed for the beaches along the Atlantic coast.

During an epidemic.

The government had told them that the coronavirus had been successfully contained and now the time had come to reap the rewards of so much collective discipline. The message was: be careful but by all means take a summer break. Which was why the motorway was bumper to bumper as I edged south in 37 degree heat. At that precise moment it was obvious that things would not go well. It was predictable.

When the first Spanish lockdown ended in late June, transmission of the virus had been squashed, the curve flattened as flat as could be and Spain’s accumulated incidence of the infections over 14 days was at a low of 8.08 diagnosed cases per 100 000 population. Next to nothing, or at least manageable.

In fact the transmission of the virus had already picked up, as it would rationally be expected to, within a week or two of the ‘deconfinement’. But the rate was still very low and everyone needed a holiday so badly.

Some of those beachgoers were bringing the virus with them from the north. Others would pick it up in the south and take it back home to Madrid a week later. The clear correlation between mobility and infection had already been established by analysing mobile phone data, notably during spring break in the USA. There was no reason for it to be different in Spain.

On July 1, international travel restrictions were lifted for incoming visitors. In the course of that month infection rates multiplied by a factor of seven to nearly 2000 new cases a day. By mid-August infection clusters were reported all over the country. By the third week of October, the accumulated 14-day incidence was up to 325 per 100 000 population. The rate of increase over those two weeks was 64 %.

*  *  *

Paralyzed, yes, dead, maybe. (Hotel lobby)

Spanish people like to go out, sit around in cafés and restaurants, but during the first full lockdown that spending just vanished, it shrank by 92 %. The economic devastation during the lost spring of 2020 was frightening, the overall drop in output worse than in any other Eurozone country. Along the coast, hotel occupancy was minimal. How could it not have been?

Desperate to 'save the peak tourist season', the regional authorities had come up with rules and protocols that would ensure epidemiological safety over the summer. They wanted to believe it themselves. Keep your distance, wash you hands, divide the beach up in four square meter patches and nothing bad was going to happen. Andalucia was safe. The signs said so. They were downloadable from a government website.

Signs of desperation during the summer. (Government website)

But while at least some of the locals showed up during the summer, the invitation to foreign tourists met with limited success: in June, nationwide arrivals were 97,7 % lower than a year earlier. Even though July was busier, Málaga airport, gateway to the sunny south, reported only 25 % of normal traffic. In fact, the summer season never amounted to much. By mid September, the entire tourist business, so critically important to a country with a weak industrial base and an educactional deficit, especially in Andalusia, was paralyzed. Mile after mile after mile of coastal resorts, used to house and service generations of Scandinavian drunks and British fish & chip eaters, were shuttered. (Excuse the clichés.) You could, and still can, hear a pin drop along the beach boulevards of Torremolinos or Roquetas de Mar.

Closed hotel. (Urbanización de Roquetas de Mar, December 2020.)

Unspoken in this silence is the belief that business will return, that it is just a matter of time, a blip on the timescale of the global leisure society. Give it a few more months and the furniture will be dusted off, the bathroom taps will be flushed and the lifts turned on. The rentals cars, rusting in vast suburban parking lots, will be replaced with shiny new models. Convinced that the good old days are due for a comeback, Michael O’Leary, the CEO of Ryanair, has ordered additonal Boeings (the same model that crashed in late 2018 and early 2019). Low fares will lure people back, he thinks.

Benalmádena, November 2020

But when? The long, almost fatalistic loosening of restrictions over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays does not bode well for the third wave of the epidemic or for the orderly resolution of the crisis. It looks like the Summer Mistake all over again.

*  *  *

That the coronavirus crisis is not a case of temporary bad luck but the opening chapter of the unfolding environmental chaos of the 21st century, is not the sort of thinking that is popular along the Spanish costas. It is not politically sustainable. It is economically suicidal. It is not good for real estate. The epidemic may have highlighted the fragility of the Spanish economy, its reckless reliance on an unsustainable tourist industry that creates no innovation, adds little value and perpetuates low-income jobs. No matter. The official line of thinking is that there is no alternative.

As the powerful tourist lobby begs for more government support, investors are forging ahead with plans for more hotels, more incentives, more highrise condos, more arrivals, more of everything. For when the day comes.

Liverpool: 2019-20 Premier League Champions

30 years of hope: my life as an ardent Liverpool fan

After three decades of near misses, slips and tears, the Merseyside team’s wait for another league title is nearly over. So what does it mean to a scouser and lifelong fan?

by Hannah Jane Parkinson

I am three years old in the photograph, hugging a plastic, flyaway football. I am seven, arriving tentatively for my first training session at a local girls’ club. I am bounding back to my mother’s car, blowing hot breath on cold hands, beaming, the salt from the artificial turf embedded in the soles of my trainers.

I am eight and glued to the television, watching teen wunderkind and my Liverpool hero, Michael Owen, score the perfect goal against Argentina in World Cup 98.

I am nine. I give up one of the few days I have to visit my father to attend my first ever match at Anfield, Liverpool FC’s famous stadium. A week later, my father dies. These two events are inextricably linked in my mind, and the guilt continues to whichever day you are reading this.

I am 10 and make my first appearance in print in a feature for the local paper, the Liverpool Echo, about girls getting into football. I am quoted as saying that all my sister cares about is boys and fashion.

Twelve years old and the fuzzy letters of “Parkinson” on the back of my shirt arch down my shoulder blades.

I am 13. Our team, known as Liverpool Feds, are approached by Liverpool FC to become their official girls’ outfit. We visit Melwood, the first team’s training ground. The full-size goals loom like scaffolding.

I am 14. My hero, Owen, makes the same move to Real Madrid that Steve McManaman made five years before him. This breaks my heart. Suddenly, all I care about is boys and fashion. Without really making a decision, I give up football. Cold winter nights are spent inside on the sofa watching Sex and the City. I discover live music and MySpace.

I am 15. I own the entire range of Clearasil products. A group of my schoolfriends and I take a night off GCSE revision to watch the 2005 European Champions League final in Istanbul; the first the club has reached since the mid-80s, and so it is forbidden not to watch. Liverpool are losing by three goals at half time. A lost cause. Minds wander to the second biology paper… But wait. Liverpool pull back to 3-3. And win on penalties. Pandemonium. We join the throng in the streets; the blaring car horns; the beer jumping, like salmon, from pint glasses; the embrace of strangers; the straining vocal cords.

I am 18 and living in Russia, watching games on my first-generation smartphone via a 2G internet connection. Each time a player goes through on goal the signal drops to endless buffering. Liverpool finish second in the league, four points behind bitter rivals Manchester United.

I am 26, we are bearing down on the title. Steven Gerrard in an impromptu on-pitch team talk, after a crucial win against the newly flush Manchester City, shouts hoarsely at his players: “This does not fucking slip now!” The next home game, Gerrard – one of the best players the club has ever seen, captain, scouser, Liverpool FC lifer – literally slips on the turf against Chelsea to concede a goal. We lose. Manchester City finish top of the league by two points.

I am 29. I am in Cuba, where the internet is heavily censored. But I manage to watch the last game of the season, which will be decisive. Liverpool finish the league with 97 points; the highest points tally ever for a team that doesn’t win the title. City win again. With 98 points. Liverpool do, however, win the Champions League – for the sixth time – after scoring four goals in a sublime semi-final comeback against Barcelona. The injured Mohamed Salah, watching on the bench, wears a T-shirt bearing the slogan “Never Give Up”. The T-shirt sells out.

I am 30. I have never witnessed my beloved Liverpool FC lift the title. Two months from now, this is going to change. As I write Liverpool have a 22-point lead at the top of the table. Of 84 points available this season, they have taken 79. Next Monday is the derby against Everton.

I want to untangle what this will mean to me – the fan who met Steven Gerrard a couple of years ago, grinning like a child; the fan who, two weeks ago, was unbelievably touched when current star Trent Alexander-Arnold recorded a video message to cheer her up during a bad time. What it means to other fans: those who witnessed the dominance of the 1980s, and the younger ones who have known only disappointment. And what it means, too, for the future of the area of Anfield itself.

It’s late February in the Flat Iron pub, one of the many dotted around Anfield. Steve Dodd, who is 49, is with his friends Dan Wynn, 26, and Gerrard Noble, 47. All from Somerset, they are having a pre-match drink before the home game against West Ham. Steve talks of the current Jürgen Klopp-assembled side as the best Liverpool side he thinks he’s ever seen.

The friends have been scouring the internet for places to stay in the city for the last home fixture of the season, but to no avail. “Rooms are going for £400 a night,” Gerrard says, his eyes widening. He and Steve are allowing themselves to get excited, but Dan, who like me has yet to experience a league title win, looks anxious and rubs his thighs. “No,” he says, “I don’t want to jinx it. Though I’ve been kicked out of various WhatsApp groups for being smug about all the results.” Steve tells me they weren’t prepared for it, this three-decade-long wait: “I just thought we’d go on winning.”

We talk about how important it is that Klopp’s politics match the club: Liverpool is a leftwing city; Liverpool is a leftwing club. At the last election, Labour retained all of its 14 MPs on Merseyside. The city has never forgiven the Tories for former chancellor Geoffrey Howe’s strategy of “managed decline”. Thatcher is a hated figure. But so is Derek Hatton, the former city council deputy leader and member of the Marxist group Militant. Last month, Italy’s rightwing politician Matteo Salvini was forced to deny that he had pulled out of a visit to Liverpool after the metropolitan region’s mayor called him a “fascist”. During several games last year, chants rang out for Jeremy Corbyn. The current prime minister conspicuously avoids visiting. As Gareth Robertson, who is a part of the immensely popular The Anfield Wrap podcast, with more than 200,000 weekly downloads in 200 countries, puts it to me: “Not only do we want a good football coach, we expect almost a political leader, someone who gets us, and our city, its values.” Humorously, there have been petitions for Liverpool to become a self-determined scouse state, and “Scouse not English” is a frequent terrace chant.

The club has a mantra: “This means more.” It pisses off other teams and is, understandably, dismissed as marketing speak. But isn’t it true? Isn’t the 127-year-old club what people think of when anyone, anywhere in the world, mentions “Liverpool”? The famous football team that plays in red – allowing for the Beatles, of course.

The city has another team, the blue of Everton. I have nothing against Everton. I consider Everton fellow scousers and too little a threat to focus animosity towards. In a way, the clubs are unruly siblings; we love and scrap in equal measure. Totally different personalities, but born of the same streets.

Four years ago, a man named Jürgen Klopp arrived on these streets. Or more accurately, he arrived in the suburb of Formby, renting the house from his managerial predecessor, Brendan Rodgers. Klopp is the football manager that even non-football fans like. He’s Ludovico Einaudi, seducing those previously uninterested in classical music. He is a man of principle; a baseball cap permanently affixed to his head, as though at any point he might be required to step up to the plate on a blindingly sunny day. Perhaps for the Boston Red Sox, owned by Liverpool FC’s American proprietor, John W Henry.

Klopp is erudite. He is proudly anti-Brexit in a city that voted 58% Remain. “For me, Brexit makes no sense at all,” he has said. He is a socialist: “I am on the left … I believe in the welfare state. I’m not privately insured. I would never vote for a party because they promised to lower the top tax rate. If there’s something I will never do in my life it is vote for the right.” He grew up in a humble village in Germany’s Black Forest, and it shows. There’s a saying in the region: “the hair in the soup”. It means focusing on even the tiniest things that can be improved.

He has the good looks of one of my favourite 1960s Russian film stars, Aleksandr Demyanenko. He hugs his players as though they were the loves of his life and he might never see them again. Journalists like him for his press-conference banter as well as his eloquence. He visits children in hospitals. He is funny. When Mario Götze, one of his star players at former club Borussia Dortmund, left for Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich, his explanation was: “He’s leaving because he’s Guardiola’s favourite. If it’s anyone’s fault, it’s mine. I can’t make myself shorter and learn Spanish.”

Liverpool have had many famous managers, of course. Bill Shankly (there’s a statue of him outside the ground); Bob Paisley (ditto); Kenny Dalglish. But Klopp is already being talked of as one of the best ever.

Liverpool the city has evolved from its shamefully prominent role in the slave trade – in common with other major British ports – to a place with a diverse population and a well-won reputation for being friendly and welcoming. But the tragedy and scandal of Hillsborough, in which 96 fans were crushed to death in 1989 at Sheffield Wednesday’s ground, is etched into the nation’s sporting history, and its social justice record. After a 27-year-long battle to clear the names of the Liverpool fans whose reputations were smeared, after inquests that lasted two years – the longest case heard by a jury in British legal history – a verdict of unlawful killing was returned. But, as Margaret Aspinall of the indefatigable Hillsborough Family Support Group pointed out, after David Duckenfield, police commander at the ground, was cleared of manslaughter last year, no one has yet been found accountable for those killings.

The Sun, which categorically did not report “The Truth”, as the infamous headline went, but was found to have published untruths that blamed Liverpool fans for the disaster, is a red-top pariah here. The paper is the bestselling national in print, but shifts a measly 12,000 or so copies on Merseyside. A branch of Sainsbury’s was once found to be selling copies under the counter, as though they were counterfeit cigarettes. It’s a boycott that has lasted longer than many marriages.

The socially progressive values of the club extend to it supporting an end to period poverty – free sanitary products are available in every women’s loo at Anfield. Last month, the Reds Going Green initiative saw the installation of organic machines to break down food waste into water. The club even has its own allotment, which grows food to serve to fans in the main stand. It was the first Premier League club to be officially involved with an LGBT Pride event in 2012, at the invitation of Paul Amann. Amann tells me how he set up the LGBT supporters group, Kop Outs, because: “It’s essential that our voices are heard, our presence is welcomed and respected.” The group works alongside the Spirit of Shankly supporters’ group and the Fans Supporting Foodbanks initiative and has regular meet-ups. These things mean something to me: a football fan as a girl, and now as a woman. A woman who dates other women. A woman who doesn’t want to hear homophobic chants on the terraces. Or, it goes without saying, racist ones. Jamie Carragher, ex-player and pundit, has apologised on behalf of the club for its backing of striker Luis Suárez, who was banned from playing for eight matches in 2011 for making racist comments. “We made a massive mistake,” Carragher said. “What message do you send to the world? Supporting someone being banned because he used some racist words.”

Back on the pitch, some of this season’s performances have been, quite simply, balletic. Others as powerful and muscular as a weightlifting competition. Formations as beautiful as constellations. Forward surges as though our fullbacks were plugged into the mains. Possibly the best fullbacks playing today: 21-year-old local lad Trent Alexander-Arnold (known just as Trent) and the fiery Scot Andy Robertson (Robbo) are spoken about by pundits as innovators. Gary Lineker and I text, rapturously, about the two of them.

For a football team to be consistent, for a team to win the league, it must be capable of winning in many different ways. The aesthetically pleasing playing out from the back. Lightning counter-attacks. Scraping 1-0 wins in the final minutes (and, particularly at the start of this season, we have done a lot of that. It’s something Manchester United used to do in their 90s pomp, and naturally, I hated them for it). Mindful of the trauma of The Slip, the agreed club line is “one game at a time”, said again and again, as another scouse son, Pete Burns, once sang: “like a record baby, right round, round, round… ” And my God, how many of those we’ve smashed. The current side is the first in England to hold an international treble (the Champions League; Uefa Super Cup; Fifa Club World Cup). We have not lost a home game for almost two calendar years. Shortly, we’ll no doubt break the record for the earliest title win during a season; the most points across Europe’s top five leagues.

It is, even to the neutral, extraordinary stuff. It is, even to the haters, albeit grudgingly, extraordinary stuff. In 2016, one of the greatest stories of modern football was the previously mediocre Leicester City winning a surprise title. Liverpool’s dominance this season surpasses that for drama. It is watching history in the present.

Being at a game at Anfield is like being high while ingesting nothing. The stands seem to have lungs. Though You’ll Never Walk Alone has become supremely emotional, an anthem for strength and perseverance post-Hillsborough (“walk on through the wind / walk on through the rain”) it’s a song originally from the musical Carousel. It was a standout 1963 cover version by Liverpudlian band Gerry and the Pacemakers that kicked off its adoption at Anfield. “It’s got a lot of lovely major-to-minor changes at often unexpected moments that have the effect of emotionally blindsiding you,” music journalist Pete Paphides says (although he’s a United fan, so feel free to discount everything he tells me). “But it’s also obviously very hymnal, with a chorus which invites that religious ambiguity. It was Aretha Franklin’s version that John Peel played after Hillsborough and rendered himself incapable of carrying on by virtue of doing so.”

Anfield has always been something special; players from countless teams often talk of it being the greatest ground they have ever played at. Or the most intimidating. Or the most electric. But of late, there’s an extra buoyancy. The crowd salivates.

Watching the game against West Ham, we take the lead within 10 minutes, but they quickly equalise, before going ahead. We score twice more. It is our 21st consecutive home win, setting a Premier League-era record. At the end of the game, Klopp and his players applaud the Kop end, fans’ eyes glistening with both emotion and wind chill (“walk on, through the wind… ”)

Adjacent to the stadium at the redbrick Albert pub, Clara, Tom, John – all in their 20s, students, and local – and John’s dad, David, who is 53, are cheering the last-ditch win. I repeat what I asked Steve and his friends: just how excited should we all be?

“Very fucking excited,” says John. “Very fucking excited,” Tom concurs. (Scousers use swear words as ellipses. And the speed of Liverpudlian patter matches the rat-a-tat-tat of freestyle rappers.) The Albert is floor-to-ceiling in flags; unassuming from the outside, iconic inside. Across the road at the Park – the “Established 1888” sign above its door – it is Where’s Wally? levels of rammed, entirely usual for a match day. But the mood is as disbelieving as triumphant. It hasn’t happened yet, but it already feels as though people are waiting to be shaken awake from a dream. Around the corner, posters at another fan favourite, the Sandon, advertise a huge end-of-season victory party. I grab a burger at the Kop of the Range, a kebab joint not far from a scarf stall that has seen its business rocket over the past three years.

My Uber driver, Mohamed, 35, moved to the city from Sri Lanka. A massive Salah fan, he tells me his own revenue booms when the club win a game – happier fans means higher fares. “People don’t want to spend money on a loss,” he says. “If we win, the whole mood lifts. You can feel it in the car. Though when you start driving with Uber, they tell you not to mention what football team you support. Because football means a lot to people. There are many feelings involved with football.”

It’s unsurprising to me that even back in Sri Lanka, Mohamed was a fan. Liverpool is a global behemoth. The richest club in the UK outside Manchester.

A £1.7bn valuation; £533m turnover; pre-tax profits of £42m. Matchday ticket revenues increased (thanks to a regenerated £110m main stand). Visiting the club shop, there is LFC-branded gin; babygros; even a Hello Kitty tie-in range. As Richard Haigh at consultants Brand Finance tells me, next season’s kit deal with Nike is “expected to represent the largest in history. Brands will be willing to pay to have some magic dust of LFC.” There are official stores as far afield as Dubai and Bangkok.

John W Henry has won the support of the fans for his positive handling of the club. And yet, despite this huge wealth, Anfield is the 10th most deprived neighbourhood in the country. Boarded-up houses surround the stadium. The club has not covered itself in glory in the past, accused of buying up properties in unscrupulous ways. But it is hoped that local enterprises, such as the community-run Homebaked cake shop and new housing association properties, will make the neighbourhood better.

Last week, we were knocked out of the FA Cup in a match against Chelsea. Or, as I call that fixture, Kensington versus Kensington. (In Liverpool’s “Kenny”, 98% of residents are among the most deprived 5% nationally. In London’s, residents earn three times the national average.)

In the league, there has been a blip. Last weekend we finally lost. And we lost 3-0 to, with the greatest respect, Watford; not a bad side, but a side ensconced in a relegation battle. Arsenal, who once went a whole season unbeaten (“the Invincibles”), and are keen to keep that record, tweeted from the official club account: “Phew!”

But I am not panicking. It’s possible Dan from the Flat Iron is panicking. But Klopp isn’t panicking. In typical fashion, he said the fact we played an absolutely awful game of football was “rather positive… ”

“A couple of years ago,” our hero reminds us, “I said we wanted to write our own stories and create our own history, and obviously the boys took what I said really seriously. It is so special. The numbers are incredible.” In a nod to Sir Alex Ferguson’s famous line that his greatest challenge was “knocking Liverpool right off their fucking perch”, Liverpool chief executive Peter Moore says now: “We are back on our perch.” As The Anfield Wrap’s Gareth says: “In a dream scenario, a period of dominance follows. Not so long ago that dream was just that. Now, it’s a reality that is much easier to imagine.”

Four more games. Eyes on the prize. For me, at last, 30 years in the making, eyes on the prize.
