from the album Oye

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
