Damn... this statement about the modern music industry comes out swingin:

"To remember the world is to remember the sound of the world. To listen carelessly is to forget."

"You are what you hear".

"Cumbia sonidera sings in praise of the freedom to be found in small numbers. It reminds us that hyperconnectivity to a sea of strangers doesn't have to be every musician's goal.
