The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

I hope this isn't too far outside the alt/indie world.

Aterciopelados is a collaboration between vocalist/guitarist Andrea Echeverri and bassist/arranger Hector Buitrago. They originally teamed up in Bogota, Colombia in the early ‘90s as “Delia y los Aminoacidos”.

I was all-in the moment I heard them. Oye and Rio are excellent records.

This is really damn good - hadn't heard it before - thanks!

Machine translation of the lyrics to English:

Against the foresters
Against the weapons wars
Against the duck hunters
Against the low grades

Another protest song plays
But don't call her a terrorist.
It's not that I'm unpatriotic.
It brings another point of view

Against park fumigators
Against ozone breakers
Against the skyscrapers
Against bad vibes

Another protest song plays
But don't call her a terrorist.
It's not that I'm unpatriotic.
Don't even bring a fuse and dynamite

Violet ye
Marley ye
Gallinazus ye
Lenon hey
Silvio Ye
Manu Chao ye
Victor Jara
Ali First hey
Mercedes Ye
Joan Baez ye
Pablo ye
Leon Gieco hears
Eliana ye
Ruben Blades ye
Serrat ye
Birth hey
Bob Dylan ye
Soledad ye
Heredia ye
Atahualpa hears

another song plays
But don't call her a terrorist.
It's not that I'm unpatriotic.
It brings another point of view
