the new generation” takes roll call and introduces us to the new students with a nod to the original series

The countdown begins! Next February 16, Physics or Chemistry. The new generation, the spin off of the Spanish teen series that marked a before and after in the 2000s, will hit the screens of Atresplayer. Very soon, the halls of the Zurbaran They will be filled with new students, loves, heartbreaks, confrontations, friendships and memories for a lifetime. Antena 3 is already warming up and has released a teaser and a trailer for this long-awaited fiction that, although with a renewed air, preserves the irreverent and daring plots of the original production, but updated to connect with the Generation Z. © Atresmedia In the first video, just over a minute long, the first thing they do is take roll call and introduce us to the students. One by one, we see the new characters that will fill the classrooms of the famous institute, on which their names are superimposed on the screen: Koldo, Dani, Bárbara, Marina, Pelayo, Carlota, Jeremy, Jon, Asia, Iria and Leleplayed by the young actors Kiko Bena, Biel Castaño, Julia Camus, Carla Domínguez, Biel Antón, María Bernardeau, Rocky, Miguel Fernández, Rocío Velayos, Esther Mejorada and Santi Garzozirespectively, will be in charge of bringing us closer to the stories, joys, fears, challenges and challenges that we deal with every day in a time of ups and downs such as adolescence. © Atresmedia In the images we see how each of the boys is illuminated by a different color: yellows, greens, reds, pinks and blues mix in a rainbow that could reflect the diversity and different personalities of the new students, all very different, but with more things in common than they thought. © Atresmedia © Atresmedia But the big moment comes right after, with the wink that the newcomers give to Yoli (Andrea Duro), Paula (Angy García), Ruth (Ursula Corberó), Cabano (Maxi Iglesias) and Fer (Javier Calvo), his predecessors in Zurbarán, and to all the followers of the original series. The new protagonists paraphrase the iconic song of get lost that served as a theme for the mother fiction, which marked an entire generation and still resonates today. Esther Mejorada, who plays Iria, begins to recite the first verses: “I neither hide nor dare,” a phrase that immediately resonates with fans of the series and connects the past with the present of the new production. As the trailer progresses, his companions join in, completing the lyrics until they reach the final chorus: “It’s physics or chemistry.” © Atresmedia © Atresmedia In the second appetizer that Antena 3 has given to fans of the series, the institute reopens its doors and is filled with life. The school, which has more than 20 years of history, remains the same; The only thing that has changed, as a voice-over says, “are their students. This complicated generation who do everything that shouldn’t be done.” All this accompanied by images of the new students, along with their names, so that we become familiar with them. © Atresmedia © Atresmedia In just two minutes, the trailer shows us where the new plots are heading. Young people break the rules and prohibitions imposed by the educational center and live the rebellion of adolescence, experiencing their first times: at parties, in love, in sex, in grief… This new class of students They will face serious problems, in addition to those inherent to age, such as the emotional impact of a traumatic event: the death of Silvia, a Zurbarán colleague. Although they are not all friends, they will be forced to understand each other. © Atresmedia © Atresmedia Furthermore, the DNA of Physics or chemistry remains unchanged, they will once again seek to break taboos, and future viewers will find everything that made the original series great, but without losing the problems that affect young people today. From what we have been able to see, there are many high-voltage scenes, which show the diversity in relationships and the difficulty that some teenagers have in fitting into society because they are considered different. Friendships, fears, doubts and insecurities will also be present this season. © Atresmedia As in the previous preview, they have left the biggest surprise for last: it returns Olympia, the iconic character played by Ana Milan in FoQ, will be in this new stage, although it has not been confirmed if it will be a cameo or if it will be a regular character with a presence in all chapters. In this way, he would join the rest of the teachers trained by Israel Elejalde (Eden), Itziar Miranda (Love is forever), Silma Lopez (Valeria), Cuca Bunting (Without tits there is no paradise), Alex Sie (red eagle) and Anais Tovar, who, With their different ways of seeing life, they will star in stories that will inevitably be intertwined with those of the students. © Atresmedia That’s how it is FoQ. The new generation The plot focuses on the first times of teenagers: the first drunkenness, the first parties, the first ‘I love you’… and the first duel. The new Zurbarán school year begins marked by the loss of a student, which leads the parents’ association, which now runs the center, to make a decision: create a support group for the students. Thus, eight very different young people end up sharing a space in which they will collide completely, but where they will also end up knowing themselves and sharing their desire to live and fall in love.

La Perla arrives in LA with its vibrant rhythmic, feminine and combative fusion

It doesn’t seem to be a coincidence. In recent weeks, we have announced the different avant-garde cumbiera groups that have been visiting Southern California, which seems to indicate the existence of a renewal movement that is not limited to a single Latin American country. And although Son Rompe Pera -who performed at Alex’s Bar in Long Beach after passing through Coachella-, Black Rooster Sound -which was presented at the same Alex’s on December 31- and Karen and The Remedies -which was at the Lodge Room on January 18- came to our shores representing Mexico City, what is coming from the same musical side tips the balance towards the original territory of the genre, that is, the Colombian nation. The most immediate corresponds to the show that will be offered on March 9 at The Echo (1822 W Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90026), and which will be headed by La Perla, a Bogota combo made up of Karen Forero, Giovanna Mogollón and Diana Sanmiguel who, despite respecting traditions, has chosen to combine them with modern contributions that reflect her own identity. Placing themselves within the topic of “new Colombian music,” the members of the combo claim to have been in contact for a long period of time with the teachers of the school they practice through the informal folklore meetings that take place in their city, and which are usually called “wheels”. After winning the prize for the amateur category at the National Bagpipe Festival that takes place on the Colombian coast thanks to the interpretation of classical pieces, and having thus become the second all-female band to triumph in the prestigious contest, Forero , Mogollon and Sanmiguel began to create their own songs, maintaining the percussion format (using drums and seeds) and adding elements of hip-hop and beatboxing. The preparation was long, but finally, in 2022, after publishing several singles, they managed to release their first album, “Callejera”, which also includes contributions from merengue and champeta, and which, unlike cuts of rural origin, cater to urban themes that, in many cases, are connected to social interests worthy of consideration. Another photo of the band. (Maria Alejandra Villamizar) That is the case of “Bruja”, which achieved notoriety after being included in the Netflix original series “Siempre Bruja” (“Always a Witch”), and which seems to speak of the unfair persecution suffered by women who have decided challenge conventional norms; from “El Sol”, which is dedicated to the farmers who are experiencing hardships in our countries, and from “La Selva”, which demands the respect that the Amazon deserves. It is, in the end, a proposal that is as vibrant on the rhythmic and vocal level as it is combative on the level of messages, and that you will be able to appreciate live if you attend the aforementioned concert by The Echo, where the three Bogota natives will share the stage with Susobrino, an electronic artist and DJ of Bolivian descent who appeals to the sounds of his ancestors in order to generate a unique style. The next visit to the coffee country that is going down similar paths is that of Los Piranas, the celebrated instrumental supergroup made up of Eblis Alvarez (from Meridian Brothers), Mario Galeano (from Frente Cumbiero and Ondatrópica) and Pedro Ojeda (from Romperayo and Sidestepper). This presentation will take place on April 11 at The Lodge Room (104 N Ave 56, 2nd floor, Los Angeles, CA 90042), and there will be an opportunity to talk about it in more detail.
