Últimamente

There are songs that, upon listening, invite you to reflect on the passage of time and the fleeting nature of memories. Últimamente, by Ismael Serrano, is one of those pieces. Its duration, barely 3 minutes and 18 seconds, condenses a profound idea: how life, at times, seems to pass with the same brevity as a fish's memory, capable of retaining only the immediate. This feeling intertwines with the spirit of the album to which it belongs, La memoria de los peces, a work that delves into themes of social and political commitment.

The context in which La memoria de los peces was conceived is as relevant as its sound. This album, which achieved platinum status in Spain, is distinguished by its approach to historical memory and the scars left by dictatorships in places like Spain, Argentina, and Chile. Ismael Serrano's lyrics on this album do not shy away from references to the victims of repression, inviting attentive listening and reflection on our collective past.
