Fuerza Nueva is a project by the Granada indie band Los Planetas and the flamenco singer El Niño de Elche.
A group of girls and boys sing in the street, loudly, the same song. It does not matter if it is an old childhood tune, the latest hit of the trend, or some popular tune. What all those voices shout at night, the song that the party takes to the dawn, that is a hymn. Peter Szendy has explained very well what liberates and traps us in this type of song, the immense pleasure of singing in a group, at the same time a power of emancipation and firmly linked support. We call them hymns because of their religious invocation, but in reality, the hymnology of the Pseudo Dionysus who established the term is a treatise on angels, yes, but also a treatise on economics and a lesson in aesthetics.
