The story behind
Vine del norte, according to DoReSol
When you dive into Vine del norte, you encounter a story that invites you to reflect on the fleeting nature of memory, like that of fish that only retain the most immediate. This piece, which is part of Ismael Serrano's second work, La memoria de los peces, is distinguished by its focus on social and political commitment. The lyrics of this album, in general, evoke collective memory, touching on sensitive themes such as the consequences of dictatorships in places like Spain, Argentina, and Chile. The song itself has a duration of 4 minutes and 30 seconds, a time that Serrano uses to weave his narrative.
This album, La memoria de los peces, achieved significant recognition, earning a platinum record in Spain. The title itself is a powerful metaphor for how we remember or, rather, how we tend to forget what happened recently, leaving behind crucial events. Ismael Serrano builds a bridge in this album between music and reflection on history and the scars left by repression.
