Estado de Bienestar marks Nico Cabañas’ artistic rebirth after years with Oráculo Records and the Ombra festival. This new project, which includes its first two chapters, "La Escorpiona" and "Guataque Punk," ventures into distorted darkwave landscapes characterized by an eclectic mix of influences. Beneath the abrasive synths lies a sharp critique of contemporary society’s idea of well-being, underscoring themes of inequality and alienation.
As we reflect on Cabañas’ evolution, how might art serve as a powerful medium to challenge societal norms and provoke critical thought in times of widespread discontent?
