NADA ME PODRÁ VENCER

The genesis of “Nada Me Podrá Vencer” occurred in movement, in that space of introspection and effort where the body and mind converge. While running, like every morning at 6 a.m., Miguel José Flores felt a tune emerge in his thoughts, and with it, clearly and forcefully, the phrase that would give the song its name. There were no hesitations or corrections: the words emerged with absolute clarity (nada me podrá vencer / nothing can defeat me), perhaps reflecting that small daily victory that comes from getting up and facing the weather, tiredness, and oneself.

But the song did not stop there. It took shape in the urban journeys that Miguel José travels on his way to work, between disparate scenes, streets of contrasts and fleeting glances that tell stories. The diversity of people, their anonymous struggles, the faces of perseverance and fragility that populate the city, were feeding the spirit of the composition. Thus, what began as a personal impulse transcended into a broader message: a declaration of resistance, an ode to the strength that resides in every step taken despite adversity.

With a sound identity that evokes the stylistic fusion of the 70s, “Nada Me Podrá Vencer” stands as a testimony to the timelessness of groove, where rock dialogues with the cadence of funk and the depth of soul. Its musical architecture, conceived with an exquisite balance between serene passages and explosions of vibrant intensity, projects an imposing presence that resonates elegantly in the contemporary scenery. In this sonic journey, nostalgia and modernity converge, giving the composition a magnetic personality that transcends time and is resolutely inscribed in the sensibility of the present.

The photographs for this lyric video were taken by Fidel Carrillo. Fidel's gaze transcends the simple capture of images; it is an exercise in deep understanding, an act of visual testimony that, with the acuity of someone who has traveled the urban fabric for more than 25 years, extracts from the city its crudest truths and its most unnoticed poetics.

Peru, with its geography of contrasts, its cities with streets full of stories and its inhabitants who resist and dream, is the stage where his documentary sensitivity unfolds masterfully. It is not only the decisive moment that moves him, but the confluence of atmosphere, light and emotion, elements that he orchestrates with obsessive precision to construct images of a moving depth.

The pulse of his photography is marked by an obsession with color and balance, an aesthetic search that does not betray the essence of the story, but rather enhances it. Fidel has addressed essential themes such as migration, identity and blindness, always with the intuition and respect of someone who understands that behind every face, every shadow and every texture there is a story that deserves to be told.

His experience in written media has forged in him a vision that is not satisfied with the surface; his lens penetrates, investigates, and engages in dialogue. As a freelancer, he continues to walk the streets, confronting the city and its complex humanity with the same intensity with which a poet confronts a blank page: with the certainty that each image is a verse to be revealed.

When he heard “Nada Me Podrá Vencer,” Fidel felt an immediate connection with its message. The struggle, resistance and strength that emanate from the song resonated with the very essence of his photography: a committed look at reality, which finds in adversity an expression of beauty and in resilience a form of art. Thus, with that conviction, he joined this project, weaving with his images a visual story that dialogues with the lyrics, turning the lyric video into a piece where music, words and photography converge in the same heartbeat.

“Nada Me Podrá Vencer” was recorded and mixed by Studio Engineer Miguel Ángel Yance at the iconic MCA Studios of the Masters and brothers Saul and Manuel Cornejo, in Lima, Peru. It was mastered by Mastering Engineer Francisco Holzmann from Holz Masters, in Santiago, Chile. And the drums were recorded at Vitto Galiano’s Studio in Athens, Georgia, USA.

The song also received the enormous vocal collaboration in the chorus by Ana Liberata and Jeshua Peralta, who elevated the song to the stratosphere. And if that were not enough, on the winds, “Nada Me Podrá Vencer” had the privilege of having Marco Landa on the trumpet, and Luis Vilchez on the saxophone, maximum masters who shine in the song with the “solos” of their instruments.

GIRAN

“Giran”, composed by Antonio Valero in 2021, was born in the context of the pandemic that shook the world. This piece stands as the first single from La Rattio's future second album, marking a milestone in the band's artistic evolution.

The song seeks to capture and transmit the emotional vertigo and the disconcerting maelstrom experienced by a mind capable of listening to and understanding others from a deep and analytical perspective. The protagonist of this narrative could be a psychologist or a psychiatrist, whose experiences give him a vision of the world that transcends conventional perceptions.

Far from taking direct inspiration from some pre-existing band or style, Antonio created “Giran” from a visceral sensitivity, allowing the piece to come to life in an organic and genuine way. The result is a direct, raw and strong rock, but impregnated with subtle echoes that refer to the roots of the genre, evoking the primal energy of its beginnings.

“Giran” not only represents a testament to Antonio Valero’s compositional genius, but also symbolizes a sonic evolution for La Rattio. The band has been able to capitalize on its rock essence while exploring new nuances in its musical proposal, combining the rawness of its roots with an artistic maturity that enriches each beat.

The song is like a bridge between La Rattio’s past and future, uniting the indomitable spirit of classic rock with a contemporary narrative that reflects the emotional complexities of our time. “Giran” is not simply a song; it is a declaration of intentions, a turning point that strongly announces the path towards a more polished, visceral and bold sound in the band’s creative horizon.

Peruvian director Pablo Rondán undertook an ambitious exercise in poetic observation when he attempted to capture for the lyric video, released on YouTube, the multiple facets that define the identity of Montreal, Canada. In each frame, Pablo deploys a deeply patient and reflective gaze, which slides unhurriedly through the dynamic complexity of the city, as if each scene were a brushstroke on an ever-expanding canvas.

The video moves between the frenetic and the contemplative, oscillating between the bustle of the crowds and the introspective silence that invades the deserted streets at dawn. The images of the subway, for example, not only evoke the incessant cadence of public transport, but also capture collective anonymity, lives that briefly intersect before continuing their course. Likewise, the protests vibrate like a collective heartbeat, an echo of voices that, in unison, seek to claim their place in a city that, although plural, is still unequal.

Pablo also focuses on moments of leisure, where fun emerges as an act of resistance against the whirlwind of urban life. However, he does not fail to portray solitude, that universal experience that takes on a particular resonance in the midst of the urban tumult, as if the immensity of the city amplified the emptiness of unfound connections.

In a visual and emotional crescendo, the video culminates with the serenity of a sunset that extends over the horizon. This final moment, loaded with symbolism, seems to suggest a reconciliation: between the individual and the city, between the whirlwind and the calm, between the chaotic present and the hope of a more harmonious tomorrow.

With a narrative that combines sociological observation with exquisite artistic sensibility, Pablo Rondán not only captures the essence of Montreal, but offers a visual essay on what it means to inhabit, resist and find beauty in the chaos inherent to contemporary urban life.

Album

EN TU SMART

FIRST ALBUM

"EN TU SMART" is the band's first album which marked a significant milestone in the group's career. After two years of intense dedication and musical evolution since its formation, this debut reflected the essence and growth of the band, while leaving a mark on the music scene, consolidating its place as one of the most solid emerging promises.

The album was recorded between 2022 and 2024 in the cities of Lima, Peru (MCA Studios) and Athens, Georgia, United States (Vitto Galiano's Studio).

It was entirely produced by La Rattio, mixed and mastered by Studio Engineer Miguel Ángel Yance at the legendary MCA Studios of the Masters and brothers Saul and Manuel Cornejo, and also, in part, mastered by Aldo Gilardi-Magnan from Hitmakers Mastering (Lima).

The album features 12 songs composed entirely by the band members, exploring various subgenres of rock.

"EN TU SMART" is available on all music platforms.

The image illustrating our cover shows a sombre and dramatic setting: a gigantic smartphone stands like a monumental tower in the centre of a desolate landscape, with a dark sky and lightning in the background. Around this colossal device, a crowd of people, all dressed in black robes, look up, as if worshipping or being controlled by this enormous object.

This image is a powerful visual representation of the impact of smartphones on society. Smartphones have gone from being mere communication tools to omnipresent entities that dominate our lives. This dominance manifests itself in the way many people feel incomplete without their devices, to the point of experiencing anxiety and disconnection when they are not nearby.

The enormous size of the smartphone in the image symbolises its disproportionate influence and how it has come to occupy a central place in our daily existence. The human figures, small in comparison, reflect our submission and dependence on technology. This phenomenon not only affects social interaction, but also mental health, productivity and the ability to enjoy the present without the constant distraction of digital connectivity.

In short, the image suggests that smartphones, although useful tools, have become dominant and potentially enslaving elements in our lives, altering the way we live, relate and perceive the world around us.
