Iconic Colombian rock band Aterciopelados sit down with Byron Gonzalez for a wide-ranging conversation on Bilingual Sounds HD3, presented by The SoCal Sound. In this interview, Andrea Echeverri and Héctor Buitrago reflect on their groundbreaking career, feminist lyrics, punk and DIY roots, and the albums that shaped them—while celebrating their sixth Grammy nomination for their latest independent release. From the legacy of La Pipa de la Paz to navigating creativity in the TikTok era, Aterciopelados share insight, humor, and hard-earned perspective from more than three decades of making music that challenges the status quo. The conversation flows between Spanish and English, touching on Colombian culture, art, literature, food, family, and the enduring spirit of rebellion that continues to define their sound. A must-watch for fans of Latin alternative, rock en español, and artists who have paved the way across generations.
