The alternative rock group launches its new album loaded with messages in defense of art, women and the planet, as well as a critique of the country’s situation.
Aterciopelados presents the album “Tropiplop”, a new installment after the release of “Claroscura” , the 2018 Latin Grammy-winning album. With this album they show comic, onomatopoeic satire, as a form of astonishment at the strangeness of an unexpected reality.
“It is our mouth opener in indecipherable times, our cry in defense of art, women and the planet,” Aterciopelados assures through a statement.
