That is why it is very difficult to explain how orphaned the rest of our colleagues are going to be by his loss. Rub\u00e9n was FARO and FARO was Rub\u00e9n. His contagious vitality, his faith in the project and his unwavering spirit in meetings, convinced of the importance of being united in the face of the challenges that the future holds for us, will be greatly missed.<\/p>\n<p>His absence will leave a very difficult void to fill in the Alliance, but we are sure that the best tribute we can pay to Rub\u00e9n is to maintain more firmly and strongly than ever the objectives that led him to believe in FARO. We do not want his spirit to disappear, and we want this union of music magazines from up to eight countries to become the benchmark that Rub\u00e9n dreamed of within the Ibero-American music industry. It will be very difficult to do it without him, but it will be easier to do it for him.<\/p>\n<p>So finally we can only say: It goes for you, my friend Rub\u00e9n.

A half-jazzy phrasing, or a metric perhaps more rapped; diaphanous melodies with sinuous rhythms at times, angular and dangerous at others; electronic firmness counterbalanced with an R&amp;B lysergy. However, for their debut album, which comes with the confessional title <em>All the Things I Couldn't Say<\/em>The palette was reduced to a sober and dramatic black and white. But far from being an exercise in simplification, it is the condensation of all of the above. Here the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist stirs her inner self to draw, observe, process and renew. Accompanied by a stellar line-up (made up of Montevidean musical references such as Fabrizio Rossi and Santiago Marrero, instrumentalists such as drummer Juanma Cayota and Felipe Fuentes on bass, and finally the great Luciano Supervielle) Victoria painted her new songs in wild chiaroscuro, with memorable intensity and beauty.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Victoria Brion - All the things I couldn&#039;t say (Full Album)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PL6gSoj67uFvR-VCg_O5CGnimPY3mp2bzy\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: PANORAMA IBEROAMERICANO\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/3pHRP9KTpTZnmPKlzlcMp8?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Esta es una de esas situaciones que desear\u00edamos no tener que explicar por lo dura que representa, pero arm\u00e1ndonos de valor queremos dedicar este Panorama a nuestro amigo y compa\u00f1ero Rub\u00e9n Scaramuzzino, director de la revista espa\u00f1ola Zona de Obras, fallecido hace tan solo unos d\u00edas.
