Not even the great commotion generated around the video clip and its location can with “Ateo”, the great collaboration between Nathy Peluso and C. Tangana. And I, now, I believe.
It is not news that from this collaboration we have obtained a song completely removed from any urban sound. In fact, the news would be that both would return to the sounds that monopolized the industry two or three years ago. Both C. Tangana and Nathy Peluso are two of the artists who have changed their essence the most, and consequently, evolved their sound.
Two pillars of our country that advance on a musical highway that seems to have no return trip. The magic of experiencing new things while inspiration comes directly from the traditional sounds of Spanish and Latin American culture. Welcome to his latest performance, “Atheist.”
There is no musical work released by El Madrileño that is not accompanied by its corresponding film. Little Spain – audiovisual producer led by Antón Álvarez along with other prominent members of the team – immerses us in this peculiar love story in the Cathedral of Toledo. An absolutely magical enclave where, with a constant contrast between tradition and current affairs, Nathy Peluso and C. Tangana make us dance a bachata within the reach of very few.
All this with a promo available to very few, where the presence of Josep Pedrerol, Brays Efe and Los Xavales stand out. A video that gave us more than long teeth while waiting for the final release.
If the video clips of this house are something you should always see, this time we recommend it even more. In fact, it is Antón Álvarez himself who writes and directs it. One step closer to his personal goal, which as he himself has confessed, is to be an actor and a film director.
The fact that the video clip was filmed in the Cathedral of Toledo has not gone far from unnoticed in the ecclesiastical sector. The dean of the Cathedral , Juan Miguel Ferrer, was in charge of authorizing said recording. Once all the controversy came to light, he defended himself without hesitation: “The video clip presents the story of a conversion through human love. The lyrics of the song are precise: ‘I was an atheist, but now I believe, because a miracle like you had to come down from heaven. In addition, to certain attitudes of intolerance he opposes the understanding and acceptance of the Church, as manifested in the final sequences of the video clip ”.
However, this argument does not seem to have worked within the church. Later, it was the Archbishop of Toledo Francisco Cerro Chavez himself who was in charge of positioning himself, denying his dean:“Mr. Archbishop was completely unaware of the existence of this project, its content and the final result. He deeply regrets these events and disapproves of the images recorded in the Archdiocese’s first temple. We humbly and sincerely ask for forgiveness to all the lay faithful, consecrated persons and priests, who have felt unjustly hurt by this improper use of a sacred place. From this moment, the Archdiocese undertakes to review the procedure followed to prevent something similar from happening again. To do this, a protocol for the recording of images for public dissemination in any temple in the Archdiocese is immediately drawn up ”.
Change of strategy after the controversial authorization. S e are aware that the Church is an institution quite peculiar and that just is not characterized by freedom and modernity, but this decision collides with excess ordinary course of society today. Even days after the video clip was published, about thirty people gathered in front of the Cathedral trying to purify it again … Peculiar to say the least.
What is clear is that both the video clip and the song itself is neither created nor intended for the most commercial and extensive public. “Atheist” is an intimate piece, which does not finish channeling until it is assimilated with calm and observation after a couple of stopped listening. A bachata, without autotunes or quirky elements. Music forever, forever, made by two of the main protagonists of Hispanic music internationally: C. Tangana and Nathy Peluso.
