“Too desperate to be quiet and too young to be still, punks in Chile live fast & raw, just like the music they play. Always making it work even when luck isn’t on their side, as long as there’s friends and beer, while we sip it, somehow we know it’ll be alright”. Join punk vocalist/artist Virginia Zwanzger, in conversation with Freddy Alva, as she introduces her new zine Casos de Insolito.
