Mar de Copas
Mar de Copas is a popular Peruvian rock band from Lima. The band is regarded as the best contemporary rock group from Peru, with more local success than emblematic peruvian groups such as "Los Belking's" and "Los Doltons".
Mar de Copas' music is influenced by english and latin songwriters from the 1960's to the 1980's. They are well known in Peru but not internationally. Their lyrics are rich in poetry and metaphors, sharing deep interpersonal feelings, melodies and melancholic shout-outs. They are highly influenced by "La Nueva Ola", latin new wave movement, and referred as the origins for the next spanish new wave of the 90's. Mar de Copas' songs are based on power-ballads, Sui Generis's piano-rock, a cappella singing style, and post-punk alternative rock.
Mar de Copas gained great popularity because of their music style and lyrics. They achieve a synth-rock sound when playing live, especially in songs like "No puedo olvidarte" and the original version of "Suna". Mar de Copas also plays Jangle Pop since their second album on songs like "Sobre las vias del tren", "Viento Marchito" and "La reina de los bares". They wrote a song based on the Mexican Bolero called "Ni para rogar un beso" and the indie pop song "Faena" tributed to bull-fighting. Their songs cover distinctive genres such as western compositions in "Recompensa" and "Heroe del delito", questioning traditional beliefs in "Cancion", and valses like "A Dios" and "Serenata". Some of their songs have explicit content such as "Ramera" and "Morir un poco" where the themes are prostitution and suicide. The song "De tierra" is a folk-grunge song based on social issues from the 90's. Barrios' considered "El tiempo no pasa en vano" to be his best work as a writer. Their lyrics talk about ordinary lives, passion, depression, solitude, strength and falling in love.
