Uacho (feat. Marilina Bertoldi

LOUTA's song 'Uacho,' featuring Marilina Bertoldi, is a powerful and raw expression of social awareness and personal struggle. The repetitive use of the word 'Uacho' serves as a rallying cry, a call to attention that demands to be heard. This word, often used in Argentine slang to refer to a young person or a streetwise individual, sets the tone for the song's gritty and urgent message.

The lyrics delve into themes of awakening and the harsh realities of life. Lines like 'Quien no nos va 'escuchar / Cuando nos miren despiertos' ('Who won't listen to us / When they see us awake') suggest a collective awakening and a demand for recognition. The song speaks to the power of truth and the potential for change, as seen in 'Cuando este grito de verdad / Cambie el destino del tiempo' ('When this cry of truth / Changes the destiny of time'). This indicates a belief in the transformative power of awareness and action.

The song also touches on personal discomfort and societal issues. The verse 'Se me rompió la cara / 'Taba en el dentista / Y me agarraron los calambres / Viendo el noticiero' ('My face broke / I was at the dentist / And I got cramps / Watching the news') juxtaposes personal pain with the distressing reality of the world. The mention of hunger and the lack of basic needs ('Ahora que no hay Netflix / Veo que otros tienen hambre') highlights the disparity and suffering that often go unnoticed. The repeated line 'Te estoy mirando a los ojos' ('I'm looking into your eyes') emphasizes a direct and personal confrontation with these issues, urging listeners to face them head-on.

LOUTA and Marilina Bertoldi use 'Uacho' to blend personal narrative with broader social commentary, creating a song that is both introspective and outward-looking. The raw energy and repetitive structure drive home the urgency of the message, making it a compelling call to action and awareness.
