El B, líder cubano del hip hop en Latinoamérica desde hace más de una década, miembro del grupo de rap cubano Los Aldeanos, lanza “Comienza de nuevo”, primer sencillo de su sexto disco como solista Luz, que saldrá a finales de este año bajo Rock The Moon Productions y el sello independiente ZenStar Productions.
Bian Oscar Rodríguez Gala, más conocido como El B, se define a sí mismo y a su filosofía como no comercial, cuya forma especial de ver al mundo y su fascinación por querer arreglar los fallos de la sociedad se destacan en las letras de sus canciones. Esta vocación por la realidad social se percibe en los más de 20 discos que ha lanzado como parte del dúo Los Aldeanos, reconocidos por la juventud hispana como la voz de su generación y en las 5 producciones que ya lleva como solista.
Cofundador de la escena El Rap Consciente en Cuba y ganador dos veces consecutivas en el 2007 y 2008 de la competencia de rap estilo libre (Freestyle rap) a nivel nacional, La Batalla de los Gallos, presentada por Red Bull, El B fue descalificado del torneo internacional por no presentarse tras haber sido negada la salida del país por el gobierno cubano. Estas y otras trabas lo llevaron a dejar Cuba en el 2014 para pisar el suelo americano.
La música y canciones de El B trascienden las fronteras de su país natal. Su voz y letras únicas cargadas de un mensaje sin concesiones se han extendido a una audiencia global. “Comienza de nuevo”, producida por El B, es otro ejemplo de esta consciencia que refleja su reciente éxodo.
“‘Comienza de nuevo’ emerge como una motivación ante esos momentos difíciles por los que pasamos en la vida. Nos invita a encontrar la fuerza dentro de nosotros mismos y da un aliento a comenzar de nuevo cuando las cosas están en su peor momento“, agrega, El B, quien se presenta este 29 de Agosto en el bar de Miami, Blackbird Ordinary, como parte del lanzamiento del vídeo de su debut americano, “Comienza de nuevo”.
A través de la fuerza del Internet, El B ya lleva más de 40 millones de vistas en YouTube solamente; debutó frente al público crítico del festival SXSW en Austin, Texas con gran acogida, ha cantado frente a masas en Argentina en donde es considerado un fenómeno del hip hop por el pueblo rioplatense, ha sido nombrado el rapero latino más influyente de su generación y celebra hoy en día más de 12 años de carrera artística como parte de Los Aldeanos.
