The “variat”, our beloved tapas tapa, is a somewhat incomprehensible mixture of things that apparently have little or nothing to do with each other, but that together, end up conquering the most exquisite palates. Calm down, it’s not a layout error, this proposal is about music, varied, unconnected, but with a common denominator: it oozes quality from all four sides. Consolidated artists, expected returns that take us to past times that were undoubtedly better, but that now occupy a present, one that has this soundtrack, enjoy it alone or in company, in a varied way, because without a doubt, in the variety, is the taste.
