Their music and Society; Psychedelic cosmic ride.

"As music is humanly organized sound, there must be some relationship between patterns of social human organization and the patterns of sound produced as the result of human interaction." Blacking (1973)

What Blacking explains is a certain way to undertand the reflection of music in society, nevertheless, as a group, we have considered that there might be some different ways to understand the reflection of music. When someone hears about a "valledupar's band" the first thing that might come to their minds is Vallenato music;"acordeones, guacharas y La caja" which is basically the group of instruments required to make this kind of music. However, when you get to meet to Psychedelic cosmic ride, you will find natives vallenatos who love to write rock,punk and psychedelic funk songs. In the interview, Pablo (a member of the band) defined its music gender as "hardcore, bone-crunching, pshychedelic sex-funk from heaven, that answer is a plot-twist to the stereotype of the region. These guys connect their music to El Cesar (where they are from) through their lyrics! "Your mom is your dad, and your dad wouldn't stay. Three colors in flag but it's actually gray" (fragment of their song "Where no one would care") The relevance of motherhood in Valledupar has inspired them to speak up about it. Thinking about how these females have raised a family by themselves without a father figure, instead of becoming a sad fact, it has become poetry through the music they make. But they do not just criticize this social-local aspect, they also talk about "how poberty and political clientelism have destroyed people's hopes and dreams" And how the democcracy is just a spectrum that the system tries to make us believe in.

Children in Valledupar start to work at a very young age by selling candies, hayacas(traditional food), cupcakes, etc.. To contribute with some money in their houses. That is not a simple task for a kid, but it is, indeed, a cruel reality that many have to go through They have lived between these situations and with a smile in their faces, they have written about it. Because what they actually want is to make people feel as much as they do when playing their songs. They are a great inspiration as human beings. "There is a clock on fire, where minutes can't be hot. You'll never stop being tired, so live around the world." (Fragment of their song "Where no one would care")
