Legendary Rock Songs:RESISTIRÉ : BARÓN ROJO.
Hello my people I hope you are all super well, a happy day for everyone, today Friday the 13th, so well I will be leaving a report of one of the most famous songs of Spanish heavy metal of one of the most famous and legendary bands such as “Baron Rojo”. I hope you like this editorial.
The biggest band that has given the rock in Spanish and one of the few that has managed to cross borders becoming international representatives of our movement. Their epochal cover in the English magazine Kerrang, the most important hard rock magazine in the world, attests it.
We are not talking about a bunch of amateurs, a small group doing mere songs and giving concerts for the family and a small number of fans. Baron in his time was a band capable of competing with the biggest bands that come to mind, rubbing shoulders with renowned musicians and demonstrating abroad that Spain also knows how to make good hard rock.
Only they can boast of having released albums halfway around the world, of having toured several European countries and all over Latin America, of having been opened for Metallica, of having played in foreign festivals like Reading, of having counted on “Bruce Dickinson” to help them adapt the lyrics to English, or of having friends like the singer of Maiden, Ian Gillan or Michael Schenker.
Even today in any country we go to, we are still asked about this sacred name of our movement. “Volumen Brutal” (over two million copies sold all over the world) is the most absolutely colossal, historical and elemental album of Hispanic heavy metal, a polished work in which every detail had the stamp and the unmistakable mark of the masters De Castro and Sherpa.
“Resistire“ (”Stand Up” in the English version of the album), one of the hardest songs of the band, was a key piece of that incomparable plastic broken by that steel fist, great riff, incendiary thrash and relentless voice. A criticism against the controllers, whether they are called politicians, businessmen or others who from time to time like to abuse their power and destroy, manipulate and lie from behind their disguise.
“Resistire”, one of the few songs signed at the same time by the brothers, Sherpa and his wife/lyricist Carolina Cortes, advocates for endurance based on struggle, and rock as an instrument for it. A milestone of the best rock that has ever been made on the skin of the bull. Long live the Baron!
Thank you for reading me my people and I hope you enjoyed this editorial about Baron Rojo and one of his most iconic songs of rock en español. Blessings.
