A las madres de mayo

The story behind

Ismael Serrano wrote A las madres de mayo, a song that feels like a direct letter to the women who fought during the years of the dictatorship. The lyrics speak of the struggle, of hope and of memory, as if talking to them in a whisper. The song is part of La memoria de los peces, an album that focuses on history, on what was forgotten and on what should never be left unremembered. Serrano's voice carries the weight of those stories, as if each note were a memory that does not want to disappear. The duration is short, three minutes and a half, but in that time a lot is felt. The song has a rhythm that moves, as if walking through the streets of a city that does not want to forget.
