decade of the 90 in the neighborhood aranjuez
from Medellin
just in a difficult time or more
legs up that this one I think
complicated and not tolerant not to say
that violent and we found that the
music became this way of
escape the only way from us
isolate us knowing what we did not want
to be in that at that time I remember
all the friends of us talk about
get a motorcycle and be the hard one the
some neighborhood and having women and
have money and what we started
to call the short path because not
means that that short path is
easy is short because all the
matches that got into this the
most are no longer
then we realized that
we just wanted to do
songs we wanted to get our faces out
other side we did not want to be something that we
forced the situation in a certain way
and we started to transform everything as
to take away the prejudice we wanted
socially or culturally they look at us
as a music group with a
talent for something
the music became the
university of us to study in
develop an art an ability to
something
we never wanted to be sober with that in
some time they started seeing rappers
as of the marginalized and the kilos of
those who have them but suddenly have many
resources and all that because I feel that the
people or sometimes the media calls us to
this sensationalism like killing a rapper and
that is more important than any
thing yes or no but when a wardrobe
I had talent suddenly it was not a thing
to publish
we care about at least
so that they had their attention on
we for talent the skill that
we have developed into something we dedicate ourselves
just to study how to do it as
write songs and how to improve each
day
what we wanted to show to
the people that I was or the talent that I had
in neighborhoods that there was not only what
that everyone always thought that
today the process of alcoholics begins
concerts come to be seen as a
man on the street
selling albums hand in hand and looking
and knocking on doors like so that the
people will hear that the coral to the idea
from us we started the process that
we call ourselves swimming against the current
because we felt that everything is in
against us there was nothing in that
moment that was in favor of all the
music that is playing on the radio
it was the opposite of us
we did what people supported was not
what we were precisely
doing and we start to alleviate with the
prejudices and even the sun today I think
that continue to be seen so be less pay
people believe that a rapper there goes to
talk is about marijuana and 1 brother 2017
and still people believe that the
Marijuana is exclusive to rappers
that gives the rapper is that neither smoke
so that we go to and as
culturally there is still a prejudice
that they persecute us but the people
that has those prejudices as burden with
they
we start we go against the current
start my mother’s sentence said to me
because mothers are the first
so do not tell them they want to have a
dr university kid
your lawyer who is not wrong but it turns out
that we do not give any of the
we did not want to give any of
the previous ones and we start others to
deal with such prejudices as the time
that my mom told me that someone
close to the family they were bad
steps and that he died in his law he had
commented that Asia gambeta
rapping and that he fights for getting in like this
instead of getting a secure job is the
that he needed someone to tell him that
they went the wrong way on time and nobody
I say it but it is more important to believe
that one is in a bad way or
that make music or dedicate to this
it’s wrong and it’s not going anywhere
nobody tells you how to create at least
at that time nobody told you how to create
your own water company or do your thing
it was not always like doing it going for another
works for another is what we
we call swimming upstream in the
process of having done as everything
possible and even impossible for the
group grew up we started to go
well let’s say it like that we started to have
recognition and already have diffusion
as as for what we
we consider that he had already accomplished so much
like selling hand-to-hand albums and everything
this issue
and he reminded us that we have already done several
important concerts and we never had
touched in the neighborhood us in aranjuez
and we decided to do a concert in
Aranjuez
it was like a debt we had and
we have a brief scare because they say that
no one is a prophet in his land and
We decided to make this concert not
matter the result we did it and it
there were people outside Argentina who was
another we are happy to be able to solve
how this way the neighborhood something of what
that we have learned there
same and it was another
another way of taking life the case is
that we left that concert has
celebrated the house of Castro as he
as the triumph and I remember that day
there was a fight in which a friend
ended up getting us to defend it
friend
we got stabbed that day and that
never forget that it is a
way of how a country with as a
way of saying that I ‘m not mortal and that
as much as he got into another story
peaceful and whatever the reality you
can you touch or you do not need to do anything
bad package ya ya then we
we felt a little indignant
of that that was not for what
we are there but neither
We wanted to be like the ones
renegades for having become a
problem because it reached people to
tell you yes you would have to charge
revenge and that if we had to defend ourselves
and we all defend the one
so we learned what
we did and making music are our
single source or not our only bridge
that we want to get with the whole world
then we made a song that
called local anesthesia and that song
narrates the two episodes of how you can
pay from happiness to the sadness of
a moment to another site is not the
song I feel I marked a before and
a later as in the history of
us because I feel that the way in
that people took it or endorsed it
song as if we had made a
reggaeton spray for a thing to wake
they sing the concerts to break the
throat and that I remind you that I was late
for the house in the same neighborhood and from
a corner a bold aranjuez esteros
mine and looked I was a man who had already
dawned as well as taking from the
jets and when it repaired well still what
they call the hard of the neighborhood the
parents
those who care about there although still
never paid less or I think even
I knew how messianic he called me
what I was doing and now for this
song that I do not know how he heard it nor
how he came to call the ears and
that recognized me and it felt I believe
that part of it was to tell the
parceleros and the way in which all
we dreamed that was like everyone after we
we went to the mother as to put the
other’s shoes and we start thinking
in weeks many evils that we know
thousands of stories of people who are very
talented and sometimes the need or the
craving for something
he has put them into something that he does not have
reverse the bad is not justifiable but
yes it has been done that many people
more cartoonists who paint badly is
writer and everything have sometimes been lost and
he has not told his story
because they did not have the tools to
times to do things
we are to others in others in an essay in
marinilla with a band came a par 0
with a saxophone he heard the Chinese parquet
for us we have always talked about
it seems to us a very beautiful instrument and
we would like someday to learn
playing the saxophone Raiola said mino
how about the iphone of part of five
millions and that they can not
I do not know how good I tell you I went through
no longer worth 500 thousand pesos something like that
5 million in Malaysia how will place
as it is our turn and that is a platal
I become myself what we are talking about
get in the other’s shoes
I wish a gun a bullet although it was worth
a millionaire thinks a lot of
silver so that people will cost you
too much to acquire it is that way
because there is a gap too big
between getting a gun in a neighborhood
any neighborhood in Medellin
get an instrument a weapon of the
good to rent I think you can
be worth 300 thousand pesos any closing
screamed for an instrument follows
worth what is worth yes or no I do not say
that there are no other possibilities because
now there is much more than at that time
but it remains that the gap
too big nobody that in itself
has a guitar a satellite to
I lend it to you that you do you
I feel that there are already some disadvantages to
times and all that is only fought with
I think as with more war there is no
many options sometimes so that those
pelaos chávez have to reach them
and show him that there are other options that
do not
it’s not like that to the races or to
throw myself to kill I feel that a
song as local anesthesia showed the
way of us returning the bad something
good to transform and not stay with
the bad or enlarge the ball of the bad
but in the good and in sections as in a
time to say good time came
change the chip to the people and we started to
see how even the father-in-law already wanted us
and to all who see us as
lazy
now they liked it because I feel that
there is a phrase that says yes miracles
there is no faith we had already done the
miracle we have already told the people that
we are able to do with or without help
Then the pelaos of the
proud neighborhood decays alcoholics and
the other groups that are doing
rap pulling that face off that line already
they start making their own projects
and to believe that it is viable to do
start your mom not see what it was
vague and the subject is that they had no
even clear where he lived
then there was no water is anyone else and a
alien pride a lot of happy people
wishing you the best because of certain
way was what they had
delivered a lot of things that the
people had to appropriate and feel that
they were own
we always say that rap or
music in general has given us more than
what we had asked for or
certain way we expected
we had the possibility of leaving
city where we never thought to take
public for us or cities in
that never if it had not been for the
grams music sometimes like
locked in your bubble in your neighborhood and and
this opens up to one as the world has
been practically throughout colombia
showing what we do and not just what
what we do but the message we have
we have left the country to the same
tell people how the pelaos live
here how we go forward just points
of what we learn oh oh oh we
we put in our heads in a certain way
before, it was unthinkable for me to fill a
concert with something that was not danceable
or something that told the truth uses like that
with time every time the music –
message every time is less is saying
something we put into the movie
more fish and to the world the treaty
put people to dance or move the
head telling the truth that a lot
people do not want to hear
then recently in august we had the
opportunity to be the cover of rolling
stones and for us this photo
it means a lot because it made it our
brother william gaviria and is exactly
in the neighborhood we’re talking about
aranjuez which is where everything went there
a lot of talented people and a
Lots of people who live this morning
that neighborhood that sometimes I did not want
even go out to sea not know anything to
everyone feels that he is in his
bubble and for us this represents
a way to tell people up
what point can one get when nobody
he gets that idea out of his head that
what one does can get it done like
whether you have patience and choose the
path longer than that of more than
learn another thing we say is that
everyone needs music to
Sometimes there are people who act as if
that were not people listen
music to wash the car to sweep
to mop the party they put
music but if the son says he wants
be a musician to problem if your children and
they have sons or daughters who will one day be
musician you have to support him that I feel that
it contributes more than anything else
and removing merits from the
other professions but I feel that for
example the artist demands to be successful
a legend artist good if those artists
where is your car and its fame and for
what to keep living a web if your wife
and you to like a weird stereotype when
the success has been a very hippie follows
being telling my grandchildren friends that I
I was chosen what I wanted to do and what
take afloat and with my parents with a
lots of people who wanted to dream about
that
we are very sure that when
we work in a company in jobs
that we did not want anyone asked us
that if we are good or bad
nobody told us that we were bored
or not that he did what we wanted
because it’s like the protocol like the
booklet what everyone knows that is
can or should be done and we
we are willing to take the opposite
to all that
finally we finish with the
phrase that is already way defines a lot and
is the neighborhood is full of traps and
shortcuts
we choose the longest path
now everyone can go through the many
Thank you
