Mauricio RedolésAbstract
This article analyzes Redolés Lavanda (2024) as an intermedial work that fuses poetry, music, and archive through an affective and dissident lens. Using an analytical-interpretative approach, it identifies three critical operations: the construction of an insurrectionary sonic memory, an aesthetic of care as cultural resistance, and an expanded popular lyricism. Tracks like “El finao” and “Huye Ana Frank” exemplify a sensory politics that challenges neoliberal emotional regimes. Drawing on the concept of the performative archive, the study argues that Redolés Lavanda reactivates the present from the margins of popular culture, reshaping protest music into a critical artifact that does not represent memory—it turns it into embodied vibration and a space of shared sensitivity.
