Esta semana, dedicamos una nueva sesión de Rebelión Sónica, al primer álbum del cantante estadounidense Tunde Adebimpe “Thee Black Boltz”, además de material de su banda madre, TV On The Radio. “Thee Black Boltz”, editado el 18 de abril por el sello Sub Pop, fue producido por Tunde Adebimpe y Wilder Zoby, y el productor ejecutivo fue Zoby, con producción adicional y contribuciones de Jaleel Bunton y Jahphet Landis de TV on the Radio. De acuerdo al texto de promoción, “"Thee Black Boltz" es la desesperada captura de Adebimpe de pequeños momentos de alegría en medio de la disonancia y la tristeza (…). Hacer este álbum, dice, fue su manera de procesar todo: “Era mi manera de construirme una roca o una plataforma en medio de este maldito océano””. Adebimpe agrega que “las chispas de inspiración/motivación/esperanza que brotan en medio -y a veces como resultado- de un profundo dolor, depresión o desesperación. Algo así como electrones que se acumulan en nubes de tormenta y chocan hasta que disparan un rayo e iluminan una salida, aunque sólo sea por un segundo”. Al final del programa, vamos al pasado en la historia musical de Adebimpe, ara escucharlo como parte de TV On The Radio, con música del tercer disco de la agrupación: “Dear Science” de 2008. Semana a semana, Rebelión Sónica sale al aire por radio Rockaxis a las 10 y 22 horas, con la conducción de Héctor Aravena.
