Three weeks after the release of “Un destello de luz,” Costa Rican quintet Adiós Cometa expands the album’s universe with the premiere of the music video for their focus track, “Una vida en otra parte” — one of the most direct and emotionally intense pieces on the record.
Directed by Joshua Silva and Sergio Saravia, the video explores duality, nostalgia and contemporary surveillance through multiple recording formats — webcams, security cameras and mobile phones — building a narrative about memory and the lives that never were, in an era dominated by screens and digital archives.

On “Un destello de luz,” Adiós Cometa deepen a sound where Shoegaze, Emo and Post-Rock coexist with a raw and direct sensibility. The album addresses themes of memory, loss, fatherhood and legacy through an honest, unsentimental lens. Guest contributions from Lucía Masnatta (Fin del Mundo), María Paula Vásquez (Encarta 98), Amanda Murillo (A su ladera) and Joaquin Vanrafelghem (montegrande) broaden their sonic palette and reinforce the collective character of a work that firmly establishes the band as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Latin American Rock.
