[News] Robert Santamaría present the new Amarok album “Canciones Para Un Planeta Herido” with a short video

Spanish Progressive Rock project Amarok released their new album titled “Canciones Para Un Planeta Herido” on September 2024 (CD), November 8, 2024 (digital) via Azafrán Media. Robert Santamaría present the new Amarok album “Canciones Para Un Planeta Herido” with a short video, watch it through the YouTube player below:

Robert states: “The fantastic project of Boyan Slat that’s cleaning the plastics from the great pacific garbage patch, as well as in some rivers of Asia, Central America and Asia

Just arrived from Mexico, Amarok’s latest work, “Songs for a Wounded Planet.” As its name indicates, this album arises from the deep need to connect musical creation with the urgent realities that our world faces today. In songs like Madre Agua and Los Secretos del Río we talk about that magical and simple liquid, which is the vital essence that sustains all forms of life. El imperio del plástico reminds us that we are suffocating our seas and oceans with thousands and thousands of tons of waste. Bosques silenciosos talks about the absurd practice of hunting, with the wolf once again as the protagonist, and in I.A we debate, with a certain humorous tone, about the implications of artificial intelligence. And there is much more, since it is a double album with more than 100 minutes of music. For those of you who know Amarok, you’ll find this album to be somewhat of a big brother to our 1995 CD “Songs for a Wounded Planet”, in which we mostly imagined alternative worlds where we might have liked to live. So if you’re interested in listening to it, we have a slightly reduced version available for free listening and of course you can also buy the full digital and physical version, which is beautiful. All the info is below in the links. I hope that “Songs for a Wounded Planet” resonates with you as much as it has with us, and that with a bit of luck it also inspires actions and reflections that are good for this world we share.
