During the pandemic, Frederico Bosco, artistically known as Bosco, spent many days and many months producing songs on Ableton. For a while, he was developing songs to construct an aesthetic he found pleasing. After listening to 22, A Million by Bon Iver, he figured out how to add more emotion to the electronic tunes he was crafting. Soon, his music became more personal. Suddenly, his emotions led the songs to their final destination.

Across four projects and one EP, Bosco has demonstrated the rich tapestry of experimental electronic and hip-hop music. On some of his projects, like Corona, he leans more towards the vocal chops. Alternatively, on Oscuro Casi Ceirto, he dives deeper into minimalism. When he made his third album, Asi es, Bosco more confidently addressed the current political climate in Argentina. From land exploitation to corruption, Bosco’s music from this point on took on a more socially conscious feel.

We hear this even more aggressively on his great new album, Ellos. In our conversation today, we discussed the making of this project, from its lyrics to its production. Further, we unpack Bosco’s view of Argentina’s current political culture. There are wonderful insights into Bosco’s creative process, all the way down to the details about the mood he was in when he created certain songs.
