about

“Is it possible that the people united could become invincible?” ask Jaguar on their latest single. Although recorded before recent budget cuts, and the ensuing protests and repression, in Colombia, the themes of “Guadalupe” could not be any more prescient. In the song, the Colombian duo dream of there one day being a united people with the strength to fight back against the authorities. “¿Será posible, será posible?” they sing, “Could it be possible, could it be possible?”

It’s a message full of hope that one day the inequality, poverty and neglect that is everyday life for many people in Colombia will be diminished by getting behind the same cause, and it’s driven home by an 80s-inspired zouk beat. I mean what better way to make a social statement than to match it with a rhythm that is sure to get everyone dancing, no matter their social strata.

On the track the core Jaguar duo of Paulo and Raúl are joined by Carela on trumpet, who with each fanfare seems to signal a flash of hope. The video, directed by Gustavo Arens / Grilled Cheese Studio, was shot in Barcelona, offering a ground-level view of the city, a glimpse perhaps of how diminished we all feel when there seems no end to political and social injustice. But there is hope. United, we
could become invincible, couldn’t we?

lyrics

si me caía en la razón
se me salía el corazón
pero no hubo de otra
pa’ salir de la olla
tocó ponerle sabor
tocó meterle vibración
figuro ponerse mosca

será será
será será
será será
será jodido
que no que no
que no que no
que no que no todo está perdido
no todo está perdido

si me caía en la razón
se me salía el corazón
pero no hubo de otra
pa’ salir de la olla
tocó ponerle sabor
tocó meterle vibración

figuro ponerse mosca
aunque nadie te conozca
figuro ponerse mosca
aunque nadie te conozca
figuro ponerse mosca
aunque nadie te conozca
figuro ponerse mosca
aunque nadie te conozca

será posible
será posible

será posible
será posible

será posible
será posible

será posible
será posible

será posible
será posible

que el pueblo unido será invencible
