Gato Diablo: Totally Independent (Seismographic Sounds)

In the song «Nunca Tendremos Mar» the Bolivian experimental hardcore punk band Gato Diablo is negotiating with a national trauma, that is, to have lost the access to the sea in the The War of the Pacific between 1879 to 1883. In the podcast the two Gato Diablo members Bernardo Reb Rojas and Espírito speak about what it means to live in Boliva, funding strategies of their music and nationalistic feelings in Bolivia. A podcast from the Norient exhibition Seismographic Sounds, produced by Miguel Hilari.
