La Descarga – “Atarraya” (Official Video)

Atarraya is a vibrant and cinematic music video by Melbourne-based tropical ensemble La Descarga, filmed across Melbourne/Naarm. It blends everyday routines with the joy of music, movement and community. From coastal views to neighbourhood streets and the electrifying energy of the stage, the video captures a dynamic conversation between work and celebration, rhythm and routine.

At the heart of the song lies the symbolism of the atarraya — the fishing net.
Throwing the net (tira la atarraya) represents action, giving, effort and the courage to invest energy into the world.
Pulling the net back (recoger) symbolises receiving, collecting the rewards, connection and community that come from showing up and sharing creativity.

Through dance, live performance and real-life moments, Atarraya reminds us that life is a cycle: effort meets joy, routine meets celebration, and music and movement help us weave fun, meaning and culture into the everyday.
