I’ve developed a reoccurring hyperfixation on nueva canción chilena ever since last year and it’s making me even more excited on the idea of flying over there
#hello#like#it all started cuz one day I was like hm… I wonder what Chilean music sounds like#and I’m more drawn to older songs including more traditional kinds#first I discovered was Quilapayún#they’re beautiful#then through them I discovered Víctor Jara#who I’m STILL hyperfixating on#I know a load of his songs and studied his life and his impact and even watched a documentary on him and how his wife and daughters were#still fighting for justice for how he was killed#I cried#I’m still so mad that he’s dead he was the coolest ever#and then through him I discovered Violeta Parra#took me a while to really check her out tho cuz while I admired her#at first the shrillness of her voice hurt my ears but now I love it#there’s just something very Real and authentic about her voice#her daughter has a really great voice too#I also discovered Inti Illimani and Illapu and Chamel#they all sound insanely fantastic#and oh my god chamal has this chorus type of singing in it and their voices mesh together so so well hearing thems perfect audio stim for me#ugh#I’m so upset that the nueva cancion period ended so painfully FUCK THE CIA FUCK PINOCHET FUCK THEM ALL#speaking of them!! my bf had an old friend in school who’s dad was victimized to their torture!! burn in hell they all must burn#idk I haven’t told my bf about this#it’s not that I think he’ll judge me I’m just very self conscious of my more uncommon hyperfixations#and special interests…..#listening to the more upbeat nueva cancion music always puts a smile on my face and makes me wanna dance#I’ve listened to other Latin American music too including Peruvian#Argentinian Columbian Mexican and Bolivian#just briefly though but Latino music is just so fucking gorgeous I’ve always loved it
