La Gente Más Linda

The Unseen Beauty of Authenticity

Kevin Johansen's song "La Gente Más Linda" (The Most Beautiful People) is a poetic reflection on the concept of beauty and authenticity. The lyrics suggest that the most beautiful people are those who are unaware of their own beauty. This idea taps into the notion that true beauty is found in humility and in being genuine, rather than in self-awareness or vanity. Johansen seems to celebrate the unassuming nature of people who don't try to sell their souls or conform to societal standards of beauty and success.

The song also touches on the evolution of musical genres and the criticisms that come with each new wave. Johansen mentions how tango musicians used to complain about rockers, and now rockers complain about trap artists. He criticizes the idea of being a 'Taliban of good taste,' suggesting that being overly critical or living in fear of change is not a desirable trait. Instead, he seems to advocate for a more open and accepting attitude towards different forms of expression. The song's chorus repeats the central message, reinforcing the idea that the most beautiful people are those who are not trying to be something they're not.

Finally, Johansen addresses the concept of motivation and purpose in art. He implies that the motivation behind something is more important than making sense or being right. The song itself is described as a 'tribe,' a collective and constant delirium that speaks of what is not seen. This could be interpreted as a call to recognize and appreciate the beauty in the everyday, the ordinary, and the overlooked aspects of life and people.
