The Colombian band Aterciopelados came out with this album titled "La Pipa De La Paz" in 1996. I'm not quite sure how I came around to hearing this song, but I liked it from the first time I heard it.
This international music moves, taps into many genres, and is driven by the vocals of Andrea Echeverr, who proves that she is a "serious little thing!"
Andrea's partner in this activist band is bassist Hector Buitrago.
While Aterciopelados might not be a household name in the United States, in 2001, the band was recognized by the writers of Time magazine as one of the top 10 contemporary global bands outside of the U.S.
"¡Disfruta!"
Too bad these guys never made it in the U.S., as this song stands above most of what else was going on in 1996 (the height of grunge) and is easily in the same ballpark as Peter Gabriel.
