Cancionero Popular by Biomigrant
Cuatro temas inspirado en la lucha social chilena, para marcar el 26 de Abril, 2020, que era la fecha del plebiscito nacional (aplazada por el gobierno hasta Octubre).
'La Quitapenas' y 'Danza de La Dignidad' se basen en grabaciones de campo de manifestaciones en Santiago. 'La Quitapenas' incluye un fragmento de la canción 'Arauco tiene una Pena', de Violeta Parra, interpretada por un grupo musical callejero de mujeres.
'Alimentar al Pueblo' viene de un trabajo en Valparaiso con el artista Leonel Vasquez, que resultó en su pieza 'Tierras del Mar'. Las entrevistas y grabaciones de pescadores artesanales eran realizadas por Leonel durante la creación de su pieza. El canto es una canción del pescador Hernan Espinosa, interpretada por su hijo Luis Espinosa.
'Balas de Washington' es un rework del tema 'Washington Bullets', de The Clash. Incluye un sample del senador estadounidense Bernie Sanders hablando sobre el papel que jugó Estados Unidos en el golpe de estado chileno en los 70.
