Radio Babilonia [LP]

Traidores - Radio Babilonia [LP]

Butterfly Records presents a vinyl reissue of Radio Babilonia, the fourth electrifying studio album by Uruguayan band Traidores. The album was originally released on CD and cassette in 1995 and it stands as one of the most representative works of their career. In Radio Babilonia voices of Juan Casanova and Víctor Nattero converge into a symphony of intense emotions and profound reflections. Each note resonates with their musical legacy, rising as a testament to the reality that surrounded them, where pain and beauty intertwine in a powerful auditory experience. With a style that defies convention, their lyrics transport listeners to a world of poetic chronicles, inviting them to explore the catastrophes of the present and future through their vibrant and critical lens. This album from 1995 is a masterpiece for those who seek an authentic and moving sound -- a sonic journey that reflects its time and makes a bold statement. Songs like "Máquina" and "Crónica del Sur" explore inner turmoil and fracture realities, wrapped in melodic brilliance and sharp arrangements. Nattero's guitar work shines, especially in tracks like "Ella sabe bien" and "Pasajero de un tren," where a sense of déjà vu echoes through the lyrics. Side A closes with the haunting waltz "Como una plegaria," evoking blood-stained devotion. Side B deepens the album's mystique, offering lucid hope through punk anthems like "Enemigo del mundo" and "Fragmentos de mí." It culminates in the defiant "Canción rebelde." Traidores channel poetic rage into a powerful, redemptive soundtrack for a disenchanted era. A1. Radio Babilonia A2. Maquina A3. Crónica del sur A4. Niños A5. Ella sabe bien A6.
