When we look back at the recently finished decade of the 10’s of the XXI century, the emergence of a new scene called urban, will have a more than important underline. A change of paradigm at different creative, artistic and music industry levels that has marked a whole generation, which has fructified in successful careers from the underground to the most commercial, such as those of La Zo<\/strong>wi<\/a>, Yung Beef<\/strong><\/a>, Rosal\u00eda<\/strong><\/a>, C Tangana<\/strong><\/a>, Badgyal<\/a> <\/strong>or Nathy Peluso<\/strong><\/a>… among many others.

It is the love for works that look forward, towards the avant-garde and the stories of those who don’t fit in,” explain the members of El Bloque.<\/h1>\n
