Al bando vencido

In *Al bando vencido*, Ismael Serrano invites us to reflect on stories that often remain on the sidelines, those that don't make headlines. The song delves into collective memory, touching on themes of political and social commitment, and echoing the experiences of those who suffered repression in different historical contexts in Spain, Argentina, and Chile. It is a track that, with its 4:10 duration, seeks to give voice to those narratives that risk being forgotten, similar to the idea that inspires the title of the album to which it belongs, *La memoria de los peces* (The Memory of the Fish), suggesting a fleetingness in remembrance.

This track is part of *La memoria de los peces*, the second discographic work by Ismael Serrano, an album that reached platinum status in Spain. The compositions on this album are distinguished by their strong protest character, addressing the importance of not forgetting the past and the consequences of dictatorships. The sonic and lyrical proposal of the album, and particularly of *Al bando vencido*, focuses on the need to keep alive the memory of events and people affected by political violence.
