This week my guest is Tetox who shares his experience growing up in a family of musicians in Quetzaltenango. In the 1970s his father and uncle, both musicians, had to flee to Mexico. Guatemala's military regime had made it clear that protest songs would not be tolerated. His father would later return to Guatemala, but stopped playing music until the armed conflict began to calm down. In his youth Tetox developed a passion for music. He's learned several instruments and has played with different groups including Los Barbasonicos.
Quiero hacer otro grupo con el mismo concepto. No tocar música popular que todos escuchan, tocar lo que tú quieres. Y eso funciona también porque nosotros con Los Barbasónicos siempre tocamos música que nos gustaba a nosotros pero también a mucha gente y muchas personas que nos escuchaban decían wow esto no lo escuchas en otro lugar.
Actualmente en Guatemala no somos reprimidos los artistas pero tenemos la libre expresión. Y con la libre expresión podemos hacer muchas cosas. Estamos en un tiempo un poco difícil con cosas malas que hace por supuesto nuestro gobierno muchos gobiernos. Pero la música debe ser nuestro instrumento para dar la paz, para dar mensajes de amor.
