RIOSENTÍ EUROPA TOUR 2024

RIOSENTÍ

Riosentí is a nomad musical project with Latin American roots. Aline Novaro from Argentina and Josué Avalos from Mexico make songs and music inspired in the tradition of the south-east part of Mexico accompanied with guitar and jarana.

Itinerant, traveller, migrant, rover, gypsy, Bedouin, transient, vagabond, hobo or refugee, have you ever though about the meaning of such word giving to it a great deal of consideration about in which context those words are used?

For us at Tropical Diaspora® Records all these words are synonyms for different kinds of Diasporasomething all human beings have in common since they left Africa for the first time. We are displaced people and we are proud of it.

On their way through Chiapas Aline and Josué composed a song dedicated to their friend and comrade Alberta “Bety” Cariño Trujillo, who was the director of the Community Support Center Trabajando Unidos, a community organization in Oaxaca, Mexico. She was killed by paramilitaries on her way to an indigenous autonomous community along with Jyri Jaakkola, a human rights activist, on April 27, 2010. Their murderers remain unpunished.

Released in 2023, Ser Feliz, Riosentí’s new album emerges as a lifeline amid the threatening waves of this confusing today. Spirituality made into songs amidst news of war and inflation; of catastrophes due to climate change. Poetry and music that dare to declare the supremacy of life and do so with song “…because with song desire becomes life.” But it is a song that, unlike many others (those that abound in the music “market” where the suffering of humanity is usually ignored), this one recognizes it and includes it in its lyrics: “A lament that when flying “It caresses the wounds, which restores meaning to death and life.” And suffering and pain are not necessarily a definitive abyss, but rather they can be a possibility of rebirth. That’s why on the album you will hear verses like this: “I sing… because singing is stronger than any hell.” It was presented at the Aracena Theater, in Spain.

Lanzado para 2023, Ser Feliz, el nuevo álbum de Riosentí surge como un salvavidas en medio de las olas amenazantes de este hoy confuso. Espiritualidad hecha canciones en medio de noticias de guerra e inflación; de catástrofes por el cambio climático. Poesía y música que se atreven a declarar la supremacía de la vida y lo hacen con el canto „ … porque con el canto el deseo se hace vida“. Pero es un canto que a diferencia de muchos otros (los que abundan en el „mercado“ de la música en donde se suele ignorar el sufrimiento de la humanidad), éste lo reconoce y lo incluye en sus letras: „Un lamento que al volar acaricia las heridas, que le devuelve el sentido a la muerte y a la vida“. Y es que el sufrimiento, el dolor no es necesariamente un abismo definitivo, sino que puede ser una posibilidad de renacer. Por eso en el álbum se escucharán versos como este: „Canto … porque el canto es más fuerte que cualquier infierno“. Fué presentado en el Teatro de Aracena, en España.
