En este episodio final de El Cancionero de Kurt, Albina Cabrera cierra la serie con tres artistas esenciales para entender la sensibilidad más cruda, caótica y honesta del universo Cobain: Butthole Surfers, Half Japanese y Daniel Johnston. Desde los orígenes universitarios y desquiciados de Butthole Surfers, pasando por el arte amateur convertido en bandera de los hermanos Fair con Half Japanese, hasta la fragilidad convertida en himno del inolvidable Daniel Johnston, este episodio es una despedida que suena más a aprendizaje que a cierre. Albina traza conexiones con América Latina que atraviesan décadas, desde Café Tacuba y Babasónicos hasta tributos recientes en Uruguay, México y Argentina. Con testimonios exclusivos como el de Ernesto Tabárez de Eté & Los Problems, revivimos uno de los últimos shows de Johnston en vida.

Quince episodios. Cincuenta discos. Una lista que Cobain dejó como herencia y que hoy nos vuelve a unir. El Cancionero de Kurt es una producción original de KEXP en español, donde la música importa.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

In this final episode of El Cancionero de Kurt, Albina Cabrera closes the series with three essential artists for understanding the rawest, most chaotic, and honest side of Cobain’s universe: Butthole Surfers, Half Japanese, and Daniel Johnston. From the unhinged college beginnings of Butthole Surfers to the amateur art turned emblem of the Fair brothers with Half Japanese, to the fragile brilliance that became the anthem of the unforgettable Daniel Johnston—this farewell sounds more like a lesson than a goodbye. Albina draws connections to Latin America that span decades, from Café Tacuba and Babasónicos to recent tributes in Uruguay, Mexico, and Argentina. With exclusive insights from artists like Ernesto Tabárez of Eté & Los Problems, we revisit one of Johnston’s final performances.Fifteen episodes. Fifty records. A list Cobain left behind as a legacy—one that brings us together again today. El Cancionero de Kurt is an original KEXP production in Spanish, where music matters.Listen to all episodes on your favorite streaming platform, and subscribe to the El Sonido: Cancioneros feed to be notified when the new season begins—coming very soon.
