00:00What is the name of the country?
00:25I think that in a country so full of hatred,
00:28in a country full of corruption, in a country full of war,
00:31the art is a response.
00:33When you play a Solar System, when you play a Doctor Crápula,
00:37when you play a All A Bill, a Bomba Stereo,
00:39when you play a punk band,
00:42there is a resistance with that violence,
00:44because young people have chosen a instrument,
00:48the words and the music, and not a weapon.
00:58The Colombian conflict has been very influential,
01:01especially in the independent rock bands of Colombia.
01:05There are a lot of proposals like Reggae, Hardcore, Ska, Metal,
01:11that have based their lyrics on everything that has happened.
01:16Groups like La Severa Matasera are playing since 1996,
01:22and we are part of that generation that has never seen this country in peace.
01:28Groups like La Severa Matasera
01:32I think the rock has influenced the conflict in many different ways.
01:37There is, of course, a very strong polarization towards the left,
01:43because the rock has become a resistance.
01:47Groups like La Severa Matasera
01:51Well, of course, the conflict is a motivation and inspiration
01:57for many musicians to talk about that,
02:00to talk about the frustration that they see
02:04and the impotence against that conflict.
02:06Groups like La Severa Matasera
02:15A pesar de haber perdido muchos amigos por la falta de tolerancia
02:21y por ideologías baratas, siento que ya esto es algo un poco más lejano
02:28que hace algunos años, siento que podemos, siento que esta firma de paz es más como un símbolo
02:36que en este momento nos podría ayudar a concientizarnos y a empujar un poco más hacia adelante juntos
02:42y salir de todo este estado bélico en el que estamos.
02:53Creo que es todo un reto para los artistas y para todos en general,
02:59aprender a narrarnos desde otras perspectivas, empezar a ver con otros ojos el país que habitamos
03:03y las dinámicas culturales que tenemos, la manera en que sentimos, en que nos expresamos,
03:08porque ya está como en el chip ese imaginario de conflicto.
03:16Yo espero que en 20 años estemos más preocupados por otras cosas menos en matarnos.
