Can Rock Music Change the World?



By 'Fumettista Esplosivo' Fabrizio de Fabriitis - Italy
The answer is that WE believe that ART in general has this power. But there is also a Planetary Conscience Movement growing on this belief, formed by everyday people and intellectuals alike, people that are connecting for the same purpose: becoming a change activator. 

Among them, there is a group of international artists, led by the Colombian Rock band 'DOCTOR KRAPULA', that strongly believes in the upcoming change and in the power of Music as social catalyst: 25 musicians, who on April 26 will launch a new album entitled 'AMA-ZONAS, hope of the Humanity '.

Along with the Alternative Nobel Prize VANDANA SHIVA, the Foundations' TERRA NOVA 'and' BOMBEA ', this collective, among which – being others actually all worthy of note – are starring names as SKA-P, CAFé Tacvba, LOS AUTENTICOS DECADENTES, ATERCIOPELADOS, LA MALDITA VECINDAD and CELSO PINA, wants to bring the attention of the international public on the problems and causes that are destroying the last rainforest. 

Moreover, their album is an ‘IKARI’, which means 'healing song', but is also a powerful message to the world and a call to each one of us to meet and aknowledge an ancestral culture that not only must not die, but that also may help us restore the natural balance of the Planet and should stand as an example on how we could live in armony with eachother and our Mother Nature .


The album will be distributed free of charge. Stay tuned!

The Band Speaks About Their Last European Tour

By Jorge Esteban Benavides Noguera

Leticia was the starting point for Doctor Krapula's Planet Tour 2013 . In June they were in the United States and the rest of the season was reserved for Europe, especially Germany, where the group from Bogotà gave more than 20 concerts. "Although the Germans did not understand the lyrics of our songs, they understood our message and proposal in general," says the band.

The international public response:
"People know that Colombia has a great musical potential and we feel that they both enjoy the sounds of our country and the rest of Latin America. We add this to our proposal, and the people reaction is amazing: it turns into a party that they and we enjoy together. People also connect with our lyrics that denounce problems that are common throughout Latin America, and propose positive messages of change and awareness with which many people feel identified ".

A bitter moment in the tour:
"There was a concert in a town of Germany, in which we played outdoor in a beautiful park, but no one paid attention, only a small group of 'Nazi' throught us the sole of a boot, which bothered us much, and after having made them the claim, they behaved more respectfully, but the concert was beyond repair. "

Germany in the words of Doctor Krapula:


" It is one of the countries that have treated us better. The people are very open minded, very environmentally conscious and are keen to know the Latin American culture. A country in which we like touring because the circuit is very organized, full of festivals and musical events ranging almost from Monday to Friday. Moreover, travelling by car is very relaxing, there is no toll, no speed limit, and you can go to villages and cities without having to travel long distances ".

The Hits: SOMOS

We are the sun, the wind, the sea
We are the earth standing up today.

We are the sun (we are the sun), the wind, the sea (the wind, the sea)
We are the earth standing up today
We are the sun (we are the sun), the wind, the sea (the wind, the sea)
We are my people standing up today!

Democracy of lies, independence those from above
The jungle is raw material for the business in U.S.A and China
Native and rural blood stains of red our seeds
With their oil spills kill the seas.

We are the sun, the wind, the sea
We are the earth standing up today.
We are the sun, the wind, the sea
We are my people standing up today!
We are the sun (we are the sun), the wind, the sea (the wind, the sea)
We are the earth standing up today
We are the sun (we are the sun), the wind, the sea (the wind, the sea)
We are my people standing up today!

200 years of independence, 500 years of darkness you'd say
Revolutions of nobles and paper
Those from below don't have anything to eat
Take everything without permission, the water, the gold and our children.

We are the sun (we are the sun), the wind, the sea (the wind, the sea)
We are the earth standing up today
We are the sun (we are the sun), the wind, the sea (the wind, the sea)
We are my people standing up today!
We are the sun, the wind, the sea
We are the earth standing up today.
We are the sun, the wind, the sea
We are my people standing up today!

People of sun, of wind and sea
We are the earth standing up today
People of sun, of wind and sea
We are my people standing up today
We are the sun!
