The Spanish version is currently in BETA mode.
The rapper Mestiza made a notable political and musical appearance.
Del 99 al 03, it is a direct statement, conceived as an act of remembrance. From the very first seconds, the tone is set: this title is described by the artist as "a memory and a wound", a reminder of what many have experienced and that few have been able to express publicly.
The song is dedicated to Óscar Pérez, a figure who has become a symbol of protest in Venezuela, but also of all those who dared to speak out when doing so involved real risks. This dedication sets the scene: Del 99 al 03 it is part of a process of bearing witness, rather than a logic of performance or entertainment.
A story rooted in the recent history of Venezuela
Through Del 99 al 03, Mestiza looks back on a key period in Venezuela’s contemporary history, beginning in 1999 and extending through January 2026. The track evokes a society shaped by corruption, abuses of power, and a climate in which silence has often been imposed as a condition for survival. The lyrics shed light on the daily reality experienced by a large part of the population, without detours or excessive staging.
Mestiza it does not seek to embellish the facts or transform the message into a slogan. The piece unfolds like a continuous narrative, carried by writing that embraces its political and human weight.
With Del 99 al 03, Mestiza delivers a work that stands at the intersection of artistic testimony and social archive. A track that does not seek immediate impact, but asserts itself through the seriousness of its message and the clarity of its intent: to recall what was lived, and to refuse to let it fall into oblivion.
