British producer Subculture links with Zimbabwean/British singer Rachel Chinoriri to produce a track incorporating multiple styles and with a powerful message behind the lyrics. This song is a great example of Acid Jazz, integrating elements from hip-hop, soul and jazz, with bursts of horns and hard drums, accompanied by Chinouriri's distinct voice.
The meaning of this song and the message that these artists want to get across, is very important to move forward with the ideas younger generations propose, without judgment of fear. Taking that into consideration and with tasteful musical elements, they were featured in HBO's Critically acclaimed series 'I May Destroy You' which takes place in London.

About the Curator: Alejandro Laverde
I was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia and now live in the San Fransisco Bay Area. Growing up in Colombia I had a lot of musical influence from my family with the great Hispanic/Latin artists that transcend generations and carry the essence of the culture to this day. My curiosity for music started then and was further developed when one of my uncles took me under his wing and opened the world of music in English to me, starting with classic Rock and Metal and going all the way to Rap, R&B, Jazz, and Electronic, from there I took it upon myself to keep being curious and explore music without limiting myself to certain languages and styles I understood but rather let the music do its thing and connect with the rhythm and the artist’s body of work.
Since then I have expanded my music library and collection, for every moment in life, there is a song that can help you celebrate, recover, laugh, cry. There is no limit as a listener to explore and enjoy the beautiful gift of music, which has no barriers and welcomes everyone.
Hope you enjoy this playlist and always remember to stay curious and open-minded, you never know when you’ll find that next hidden gem to jam out to.
