Entrada libre

“Under the Rock”, un homenaje invisible en la música, el ejercicio íntimo y personal de un individuo o grupo que encuentra satisfacción desmedida; su rendición a las ondas sonoras que genera su instrumento y la complicidad de la banda. Es la música que desvanece la ausencia del privilegio y materializa por instantes una fama que toca la divinidad. Es un viaje personal y espiritual que en la mayoría de las veces solo la música logra entender. Somos espectadores, solo eso.
