Traidores
Radio Babilonia
HIGHLIGHTS
Butterfly Records is proud to release a vinyl reissue of Radio Babilonia, the fourth electrifying studio album by
Uruguayan band Traidores. The album was originally released on CD and cassette in 1995 and it stands as one of the most
representative works of their career.
In Radio Babilonia voices of Juan Casanova and Víctor Nattero converge into a symphony of intense emotions and profound
reflections. Each note resonates with their musical legacy, rising as a testament to the reality that surrounded them,
where pain and beauty intertwine in a powerful auditory experience. With a style that defies convention, their lyrics
transport us to a world of poetic chronicles, inviting us to explore the catastrophes of the present and future through
their vibrant and critical lens.
This album from 1995 is a masterpiece for those who seek an authentic and moving sound - a sonic journey that reflects
its time and makes a bold statement.
DESCRIPTION
Released in August 1995, Radio Babilonia opens with its title track- a sonic storm that sets the tone with poetic
urgency and avant-garde defiance. Songs like "Máquina" and "Crónica del Sur" explore inner turmoil and fracture
realities, wrapped in melodic brilliance and sharp arrangements. Nattero's guitar work shines, especially in tracks like
"Ella sabe bien" and "Pasajero de un tren," where a sense of déjà vu echoes through the lyrics. Side A closes with the
haunting waltz "Como una plegaria," evoking blood-stained devotion.
Side B deepens the album's mystique, offering lucid hope through punk anthems like "Enemigo del mundo" and "Fragmentos
de mí." It culminates in the defiant "Canción rebelde": "There is no worse evil than chaining oneself to pain."
Traidores channel poetic rage into a powerful, redemptive soundtrack for a disenchanted era.
