The story behind
Pequeña criatura, according to DoReSol
In Pequeña criatura, Ismael Serrano immerses us in a reflection on the fleeting nature of memory, comparing it to that of fish that only retain the immediate. This piece, which is part of his second album, La memoria de los peces, is distinguished by its strong social and political commitment. The lyrics of this album, and therefore of this song, pause to consider historical memory, bringing to light the stories of those who suffered repression during dictatorial periods, with echoes that resonate in countries like Spain, Argentina, and Chile. The song's duration is 5 minutes and 5 seconds, a time that allows for the development of the narrative and atmosphere that characterize it.
The album La memoria de los peces, from which Pequeña criatura is taken, achieved platinum record recognition in Spain. The title of the album itself is a metaphor that encapsulates the central theme: the importance of remembering and not forgetting past events, especially those that marked entire societies through violence and lack of freedom. Ismael Serrano's sonic and lyrical proposal at this stage invites attentive listening, connection with stories that are often attempted to be erased from collective memory.
