Chicago-based drummer and composer Gustavo Cortiñas unveils the video for “Your Resilience Is Resistance,” a stirring piece from his upcoming album The Drum Also Sings / El Tambor También Canta, due June 5 via Desafío Candente Records. Featuring legendary drummers Dave King and Isaiah Spencer alongside Chilean vocalist Paula Herrera, the video transforms themes of memory, resistance, collective struggle, and rebirth into a powerful visual and musical statement. Rooted in South American rhythmic traditions, the piece honors resilience as both survival and defiance while reflecting the album’s broader meditation on healing, ancestry, and community. Across 'The Drum Also Sings', Cortiñas uses rhythm, voice, and collective improvisation to explore how music can carry grief, hope, and renewal simultaneously.
