Sometimes life imitates art – or at least the two can seem eerily connected. On Jan. 1, the Venezuelan band Rawayana released a new album, ¿Dónde Es El After?, which began with a lyric that many interpreted as a wish for their country’s leadership to be gone. A few days later, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was ousted from power and seized by American forces. For this week’s episode, we chat with Fofo Story and Beto Montenegro of Rawayana to hear how the album came together, where its sonic influences lie, and how they’re reflecting on the seismic changes underway in their home country.
