In Córdoba, Argentina, musician Pablo Bruno released his fourth studio album, Hogar (Home), which explores themes of caring for one’s personal space, community, and the environment.
Bruno grew up between the city of Córdoba and the surrounding hills and countryside, experiences that shaped his connection to nature and informed his songwriting. He emphasizes the importance of protecting “the home we inhabit, the home-body, the home-earth,” viewing them as interconnected.
The album blends folk musical traditions with styles like cumbia and chacarera. Bruno sees art, specifically music, as a powerful tool for raising awareness about important issues. He recently performed a song in San Rafael, Mendoza, about water conservation, recognizing the ongoing struggles for water rights in the region. Bruno also expresses concern for social issues like the preservation of public universities, respect for historical memory regarding dictatorships, and the rights of Indigenous peoples.
His song “Cordillera y quebracho” (Mountain Range and Quebracho Tree) addresses deforestation and honors human rights organizations, featuring a collaboration with fellow musician Raly Barrionuevo. He feels a personal responsibility to sing about injustices and environmental care, believing that meaningful art arises from a place of purpose.
