8 d. ago ‘Pop music can be so scared to offend’: Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso, the Argentine duo subverting machismo

After going viral with their Tiny Desk concert, the impish pair are heading to Glastonbury. They explain their ‘no shame, no fear’ approach – and their ridiculous muscle suitsOver impeccable jazz-funk arrangements and Latin percussion, a man in a furry blue trapper hat raps like he’s inhaled a Benson & Hedges multipack, while his partner brings lip-curling, hair-twirling attitude to his own lyrical delivery. This is Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso’s Tiny Desk Concert, an online performance that turned the two Argentine vocalists into global sensations almost overnight after it came out last October. It has now racked up 36m views and Rolling Stone has called them “the future of music”.Some eyebrows were raised, though, by the English translations of their lyrics: crude, daft, often hilarious tales of parties, sex and girls – even, accidentally, goes one punchline, the same one. “We’re always having fun and trying to confuse people,” Amoroso explains on a video call from Madrid, during ...

A lively history of the paper from 1986 to 1995 covers global upheaval, internal conflict and a bold but brilliant redesignIn my early career as a cultural historian, I made many journeys along the Northern line in London to the now defunct British Newspaper Library at Colindale.

Ian Mayes’s excellent book follows two previous, quasi-official volumes of Guardian history by David Ayerst and Geoffrey Taylor. It begins in 1986 when the Guardian was...
