Music Video: Lucybell - Sembrando en el mar

I have been on something of a German kick lately here on Open World Music.  That is the general gravitational pull that this blog has often had, as it started out because I was inspired by the German music scene while trying to bring some cultural relevance to my daughter's German language education.  But I also like to move farther afield, as appealing rock and pop music in the local language comes from just about everywhere in the world.  So, today I moved somewhat laterally to Chile.

I say "laterally" not because German is an official language in Chile.  Rather, due to heavy German immigration into Chile beginning in 1845 and lasting until today, German cultural influence on Chile is broad and significant.

But all that is irrelevant to the task at hand: introducing Chilean alternative band Lucybell.  Formed in 1991, and putting out 7 albums since then, this band from Santiago is a widely beloved fixture on the Chilean music scene.  While the deep, rich voice of Lucybell's lead singer leaves the listener with no doubt that this is a South American band, Lucybell's music has strong ties to 1980s and 1990s British pop.  Sembrando en el mar is a fine example of this influence, while also demonstrating that they have their own unique voice.
