En tiempos recientes, los corridos tumbados han emergido como un fenómeno musical sin parangón. Su extraordinario éxito radica en la ingeniosa fusión de tradiciones que van desde los corridos tradicionales al rap y el trap, con iconos como Peso Pluma, Natanael Cano, Fuerza Regida, Luis R. Conriquez y Eslabon Armado, todos arraigados en las ricas y a menudo polemicas narrativas de la narcocultura. Sin embargo, mas alla de su caracter musical, los corridos tumbados son un reflejo del deseo y el anhelo de una generacion. Son la voz de millones de jovenes que buscan, a traves de sus melodias y letras, un escape a las aspiraciones frustradas, y que ven en estos ritmos la promesa de un estilo de vida soña-do, pero a menudo inalcanzable. Estas canciones hablan un lenguaje coloquial y presentan fusiones musicales que no solo resuenan en los oidos de aquellos familiarizados con el rap o lo regional, sino tambien en aquellos para quienes la violencia y el universo del narco son paisajes cotidianos. Este libro revela la potente influencia social de la narcocultura, poniendo de manifiesto como el narcomundo se ha convertido en un referente esencial en la construccion de la vida, la muerte y, sobre todo, la identidad. Como el reconocido corridista y musicologo Juan Carlos Ramirez Pimienta menciona en el prologo: en Mexico, el corrido es cosa de jovenes.

Karma is the definitive autobiography from music icon, Boy George - the fabulous Grammy, Brit and Ivor Novello award-winning lead singer of 80s pop/reggae band, Culture Club. Told in his inimitable style, Karma will reflect on Boy George's life as a kid growing up in sixties London, through the hedonism of the seventies and the glam rock and punk rock revolution that birthed Culture Club, and the heydays of the nineties meeting musical legends like David Bowie, Madonna and Prince - as well as addressing all those rumours. The book will reveal the highs and lows of love, loss, addiction, recovery, prison, and celebrity on Boy George's journey through fame to finally embracing the man and artist that he is today: 'I went to a lot of trouble to create Boy George and then I went through a whole battle for years about not wanting to be him.But now I enjoy and embrace it in a way that I wasn't able to as a young person.... I'm learning to be George Alan O'Dowd from Eltham who it turns out is quite an interesting person.'With all the humour, honesty, sarcasm (and hats!) that you'd expect, Karma gives us a unique insight into Boy George's incredible story and the true evolution of a music icon. 'Culture Club is always going to be one of those lovers I go back to.I've railed against it and that Boy George character I created. For years I convinced myself I was a creature of habit, unchangeable, immovable. But eventually you have to look in the mirror.Not looking for spots, looking for something deeper. Why the hell am I here? I would say life is the point of life.'

Kaleidoscopic in scope and intimate in detail, Travelling is a fresh and fascinating addition to the Joni Mitchell corpus and one that questions whether an artist can ever truly be known to their fans.
