Refractarios: Ruido y fotocopias 2019

In Refractarios: Ruido y fotocopias, published in 2019, the author and editor Marco Sosa, who describes himself as a “third-world punk”, chronicles the birth and development of punk and fanzine-making in Bogotá and Medellín, Colombia, from 1983 to 1991—a convoluted period of Colombian history. Sosa is also the founder of La Valija de Fuego, an editorial house and independent bookstore dedicated to fanzines and various self-published and underground publications. Sosa published Refractarios: Ruido y fotocopias to mark the launch of the fanzine collection at the Biblioteca Nacional de Colombia.
