BLOQUE DEPRESIVO
El Bloque Depresivo Releases Debut On October 19th on Barbès Records
Barbès Records presents El Bloque Depresivo, the latest project from Macha, leader, and singer of the Chilean cult group Chico Trujillo.
A key figure in post-Pinochet Chilean culture, Macha began his career with the punk band La Floripondio twenty-five years ago. He would go on to massive success with the cumbia group Chico Trujillo, which became one the most popular groups in Chile. In 2012 Bloque Depressivo was born during Chico Trujillo’s live sets — the part of the show where the band played their slowest, most depressing songs to calm down overheated audiences.

On a spectacular journey through Renaissance Italy, Andrew Graham-Dixon searches for the shadowy figure who wrote one of the most important books on art and looks at some dazzling works, including masterpieces of the early Renaissance by Giotto, Masaccio and Donatello. Giorgio Vasari was the grandaddy of all art critics, travelling Italy in the 16th century for his definitive Lives of the Artists. Scorning medieval Gothic, he praised to the vaulted ceilings the revival of classical art and architecture.
