Manual de Combate (Chile) - Mapas Auténticos del Mundo Imaginario. Mapas Imaginarios del Mundo Real. ('Authentic Maps of the Imaginary World. Imaginary Maps of the Real World').
“Into a dependency without dreams, we are continuing to lose our lives at work”,
says one of their lines. Fear, silence or this hyperconnection that
drives us further away and isolates us are just some of the scars of the
contemporary world. It is easy to relate to Manual de Combate.
After
five years as a band, – marked by little steps, touring – or the
Chilean revolts, the rage of this album culminates in the thirteen
minutes of Aparcoa, a jazz-inspired opera that advocates breaking with
the frames of reference. In this fight against alienation – and oneself –
the value of illusion is all-pervasive in this band, where
post-hardcore, jazz, noise and hints of free jazz become one and the
same. What is to be done in the face of this fire that reminds us that
everything seems possible?
