The Venezuelan band Rawayana, nominated for a Grammy for their album '¿Quién trae las cornetas?', represents resilience amid struggles faced by their generation. Formed in 2007 during political turmoil, the band gained popularity for their unique sound blending various genres and drawing symbolic inspiration from the Hindu epic Ramayana. Their success has surged in the past two years, especially after a standout NPR performance. However, their achievements contrast sharply with challenges like canceling a homecoming tour following threats linked to political tensions, illustrating the band’s complex relationship with their home country's socio-political landscape.
This nomination represents something very beautiful because of where we come from and how difficult life has been for our generation.
Within the last two years, the eclectic funk-fusion band from Caracas has gained international popularity for '¿Quién trae las cornetas?,' further propelled by their NPR 'El Tiny' takeover performance.
