Album lore

Subir, mirar mejor, issued in 2010 on Buenos Aires-based Pinkhead Records, gathers fifteen tracks from Delfines de Etiopia, a band rooted in the province’s reggae en español scene. The album unfolds with steady, roots reggae rhythms underscored by Spanish lyrics that stretch over the familiar riddims of the genre. Among its selections, “Uprising” stands out with a resolute groove and chant-like vocal delivery, anchoring the record’s political tenor.The record’s tracks, including “Zion avanza” and “La cura del hombre,” maintain a consistent voice that reflects the band’s local context while nodding to the broader reggae canon. Though not widely circulated—garnering just over 1,700 Last.fm plays—the album carries the resonance of a provincial signal, an artifact from Argentina’s quieter reggae outposts. It is a record for those who appreciate the genre’s global reach beyond the usual metropolitan centers.
