Eric Clapton tiene una relación complicada con su propio legado. A lo largo de décadas de carrera, pasó por Cream, The Yardbirds, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos y supo desarrollar una extensa etapa solista, acumulando canciones que el mundo convirtió en clásicos. Pero pocas de sus creaciones logran conformarlo del todo. Sin embargo, hay […]

Pocas amistades en la historia de la música cambiaron el rumbo del rock como la de Mick Jagger y Keith Richards. Ambos habían nacido el mismo año en el mismo hospital de Dartford, Kent, y habían compartido la primaria, pero sus caminos se separaron cuando la familia de Richards se mudó de barrio. Durante años […]

Durante varios años, Colombia ha construido una arquitectura institucional orientada a ampliar derechos, fortalecer la participación democrática y enfrentar las consecuencias de décadas de conflicto armado. No ha sido un proceso del todo lineal, con avances y retrocesos, ninguno de estos logros ha sido el resultado de un único gobierno o ni siquiera de la institucionalidad, sino de luchas del movimiento social refrendadas por ella.
Las conquistas acumuladas a través de luchas sociales, reformas legales y acuerdos políticos y de paz permitieron el reconocimiento progresivo de los derechos. Muestra de eso es el avance en materia de derechos sexuales y reproductivos para las mujeres y diversidades sexuales, marcos de mayor protección a las víctimas del conflicto armado y garantías para distintos sectores históricamente excluidos.
En ese contexto, la llegada de Abelardo de la Espriella a la presidencia de Colombia representa un punto de inflexión para el país. Más allá de las simpatías que despierta su discurso de autoridad y orden, varias de sus propuestas plantean interrogantes profundos sobre el futuro de las libertades civiles, la institucionalidad democrática, la libertad de prensa y la vigencia de los compromisos adquiridos por el Estado colombiano en materia de derechos humanos y construcción de paz bajo su mandato.
Las preocupaciones sobre este nuevo Gobierno no provienen únicamente de sus opositores. Organizaciones de derechos humanos, académicos y expertos en democracia han advertido que varias de sus propuestas podrían afectar el equilibrio institucional y los contrapesos del poder. Las alertas identificadas aquí se sustentan en el análisis de su programa de gobierno, sus entrevistas y sus discursos de campaña, en los que se evidenció una visión favorable a fortalecer el poder Ejecutivo. No es menor que haya anunciado la firma de 90 decretos durante los primeros días de gobierno, una promesa que contrasta con su compromiso de respetar plenamente la Constitución y la institucionalidad democrática.
Por ejemplo, pocos días antes de las elecciones, la Federación Internacional por los Derechos Humanos (FIDH) lanzó una advertencia urgente señalando que la candidatura de Abelardo de la Espriella representaba un riesgo grave para el Estado social de derecho y las garantías democráticas en Colombia. Según el informe, de hacerse reales sus propuestas éstas dejarían en la vulnerabilidad a millones de personas, además de aislar al país. El organismo de la sociedad civil subrayó en ese informe una preocupación compartida y expresada por otros actores nacionales e internacionales que, a la luz de los nuevos resultados, se hace urgente retomar.
La tentación de gobernar sin contrapesos
Uno de los principales riesgos radica en la relación que podría establecer con el Congreso y las alianzas que pueden crearse de tal forma que no tenga una oposición significativa que regule sus decisiones.
Por el momento, De La Espriella contaría con apoyos importantes de sectores de derecha y conservadores, pues además de los votos de su propio partido Salvación Nacional, se prevé que se sumen bancadas afines como las del Centro Democrático, Partido Liberal, Partido Conservador, Partido de la U, y Mira. Aunque la bancada del Pacto Histórico es la más numerosa del Congreso, no tiene mayorías y sus alianzas son menores.
Sin embargo, la preocupación no se limita a la dificultad de conseguir mayorías legislativas. El presidente electo ha hablado de gobernar mediante decretos como parte de su “plan de choque” con metas de gestión inmediata para los primeros 100 días. Esta postura resulta especialmente relevante porque varias de sus promesas de campaña (como desmontar la Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz -JEP, reducir el tamaño del Estado o modificar compromisos internacionales), requieren reformas constitucionales y amplios consensos políticos.
La idea de una presidencia que busque ejecutar transformaciones profundas con escasa mediación legislativa supone una tensión directa con los mecanismos de equilibrio de poderes que caracterizan a una democracia constitucional. Además, se contradice con el mensaje de campaña del respeto a las instituciones.
Seguridad, libertades y derechos humanos: los riesgos de la mano dura
La figura de De la Espriella también debe entenderse en el marco de una corriente política que ha ganado terreno en América Latina durante los últimos años. Su cercanía ideológica con liderazgos como los de Javier Milei y Nayib Bukele lo ubica dentro de una tendencia que combina la defensa del libre mercado y la reducción del Estado con posiciones conservadoras frente a derechos sociales y libertades civiles. Aunque el discurso libertario reivindica la libertad individual y la menor intervención estatal posible, en la práctica varios gobiernos asociados a esta corriente han impulsado recortes institucionales, confrontaciones con la prensa, restricciones a la protesta social y cuestionamientos a políticas de protección para poblaciones históricamente discriminadas. La paradoja es evidente porque mientras se amplía la noción de libertad económica, se reducen, se retrocede o se debilitan mecanismos públicos que garantizan derechos fundamentales y protegen a sectores vulnerables de la sociedad.
La propuesta de replicar elementos del denominado “modelo Bukele” constituye otro de los focos de mayor preocupación entre los sectores sociales y defensores de derechos humanos. Entre las medidas planteadas figuran la construcción de megacárceles, la agilización de detenciones y el fortalecimiento de estrategias de seguridad basadas en la privación masiva de la libertad.
Experiencias similares en otros países como El Salvador han generado graves cuestionamientos por detenciones arbitrarias y afectaciones al debido proceso, especialmente entre jóvenes y poblaciones vulnerables. El riesgo consiste en que la búsqueda legítima de mayor seguridad termine debilitando garantías fundamentales que protegen a cualquier ciudadano frente al abuso estatal. Algo en lo que Colombia tiene una larga y dolorosa historia.
A ello se suma la intención de recuperar el control territorial mediante operaciones militares más agresivas y el eventual regreso de bombardeos aéreos. Estas medidas podrían generar consecuencias humanitarias significativas y abrir debates sobre el cumplimiento de las obligaciones derivadas del Derecho Internacional Humanitario, particularmente en lo relacionado con la protección de la población civil.
El posible aislamiento internacional de Colombia
Otra de las preocupaciones en materia internacional es la posibilidad expuesta por De la Espriella de retirar a Colombia de organismos internacionales como la ONU, la OEA y la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos.
Más allá del mensaje político que esto enviaría, la decisión tendría consecuencias concretas. Los sistemas internacionales de protección han funcionado durante décadas como instancias complementarias para las víctimas cuando las instituciones nacionales no han ofrecido respuestas suficientes. Limitar o eliminar estos mecanismos reduciría las posibilidades de acceso a la justicia internacional y disminuiría los espacios de supervisión sobre el cumplimiento de las obligaciones estatales en materia de derechos humanos.
Además, la reducción de la presencia del país en escenarios multilaterales podría afectar su capacidad de interlocución y negociación en asuntos regionales y globales.
¿El fin de la arquitectura de la paz?
Quizá uno de los impactos más profundos de la presidencia de De la Espriella recaerán sobre las instituciones creadas para implementar el Acuerdo de paz.
Las propuestas de eliminar, fusionar o debilitar entidades como la Unidad Nacional de Protección, la Unidad para las Víctimas, la Unidad de Restitución de Tierras, la Agencia para la Reincorporación, el Centro Nacional de Memoria Histórica y especialmente la JEP, apuntan hacia una transformación radical del modelo de justicia transicional construido tras la firma del acuerdo con las antiguas FARC.
El recorte presupuestal del 90% a la JEP y su eventual cierre hacia 2030 representarían mucho más que una reforma administrativa. Significarían el desmonte progresivo de mecanismos diseñados para garantizar verdad, justicia, reparación y no repetición. Para millones de víctimas, estas instituciones constituyen la principal vía para conocer lo ocurrido durante el conflicto y exigir responsabilidades.
La preocupación central radica en que el debilitamiento de esta arquitectura termine por vaciar de contenido varios de los compromisos adquiridos por el Estado en el proceso de paz y por el contrario dar un mensaje de impunidad en un proceso aun sin terminar.
La prensa frente a un gobierno hostil
Si existe un ámbito donde los antecedentes del nuevo presidente generan alertas particularmente visibles, es el de la libertad de prensa.
Las denuncias sobre descalificaciones públicas contra periodistas, señalamientos sobre supuestas agendas políticas, cuestionamientos a la independencia de los medios y acciones judiciales contra comunicadores configuran un patrón preocupante para quienes defienden la libertad de expresión, como lo ha documentado la Fundación para la Libertad de Prensa, FLIP.
El problema trasciende la confrontación entre un político y determinados medios. Cuando una figura tan poderosa presenta de forma sistemática a la prensa crítica como un actor político que conspira contra su proyecto, se deteriora uno de los pilares fundamentales de cualquier democracia. La existencia de un periodismo capaz de investigar, cuestionar y exigir rendición de cuentas al poder es necesario en cualquier parte del mundo, mucho más en países con graves desigualdades de poder como Colombia.
La estigmatización constante de periodistas puede reducir la confianza ciudadana en la información independiente y debilitar las condiciones necesarias para un debate público informado. Cuando esa dinámica proviene desde la máxima autoridad del Estado, el efecto puede extenderse mucho más allá de las redacciones y llevar a graves escenarios como ha ocurrido en gran parte de Centroamérica.
Más que un cambio de gobierno
Una nueva presidencia siempre implica un cambio de rumbo. Sin embargo, en el caso de Abelardo de la Espriella, las preocupaciones planteadas por organizaciones de derechos humanos, sectores de la sociedad civil y defensores de la libertad de prensa apuntan a algo más profundo que una simple alternancia política.
Lo que está en discusión tras la llegada al poder de De la Espriella no es únicamente un modelo económico o una estrategia de seguridad. También están en juego los mecanismos de control al poder, la protección de las minorías, la implementación del Acuerdo de paz, la relación del país con el sistema internacional de derechos humanos y la capacidad de la prensa para ejercer su función crítica sin intimidaciones.
Para una democracia, los mayores riesgos no siempre aparecen de manera abrupta. A menudo llegan envueltos en promesas de eficiencia, orden y autoridad. La pregunta que enfrenta ahora Colombia bajo la presidencia de Abelardo de la Espriella es si habrá suficiente control político para nivelar estas posturas, pues está en juego el costo institucional, las libertades y los derechos construidos durante décadas.

Bebe Rexha isn’t interested in turning female artists into competitors.
The singer recently pushed back after a social media user attempted to compare her commercial success to Olivia Rodrigo’s, whose third studio album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and shattered streaming records.
The exchange began after Rexha shared a heartfelt tribute to late artist Oliver Tree on social media, revealing that the pair had recorded a song together for her latest album, Dirty Blonde, that ultimately didn’t make the final tracklist.
“I’m in shock. I was in the middle of my cd signing in nyc when I found the news of Oliver tree. I can’t believe it,” she wrote. “We recorded a record together to be on dirty blonde. He was so smart. Passionate. Talented. Kind. I’m so sad. May he rest in peace.”
But the conversation quickly veered off course when one commenter replied: “Olivia outsold u btw.”
Rather than taking the bait, Rexha answered: “I’m actually happy for her. No need to put women against each other. Stream DIRTY BLONDE for women empowerment. Livies X Rexhars.”
The response was widely praised by fans, with many applauding the singer for rejecting the increasingly common trend of framing women in pop as rivals.
The “I’m Good (Blue)” singer also made headlines last year after publicly criticising former collaborator G-Eazy, with whom she scored a major hit on 2015’s “Me, Myself & I.”
“I have been UNDERMINED. I’ve been so quiet for the longest time,” she wrote on social media at the time. “I haven’t seen the signs even though people constantly are bringing them up and they have been SO OBVIOUS. And when I have spoken up I’ve been silence and PUNISHED by this industry Things must change or I’m telling ALL of my truths. The good the bad and the ugly. (sic)”
The pop star later removed the post and added: “Someone from my team had me take down my Instagram Story,” she explained.
For now, however, Rexha seems focused on celebrating fellow female artists rather than competing with them.
Iron Maiden are enforcing a phone-free standing area at their Paris show on Monday (June 22), confirming the La Défense Arena performance will be filmed for their forthcoming Run For Your Lives Tour concert film.
The band announced the policy via social media on Friday (June 19), sharing a step-by-step graphic guide for using Yondr pouches — the lockable phone storage devices that have become the live music industry’s go-to solution for phone-free shows.
Fans in the standing and General Admission area will have their devices locked in pouches upon entry, with the pouches remaining with the fan at all times throughout the night. Designated phone-use areas will be available within the arena for emergencies, and physical payment cards will be required at bars and merchandise stands.
The band’s social media caption confirmed the policy directly: “The standing/General Admission area in La Défense Arena will be entirely phone-free to make sure the experience is optimal for the live recording of the Run For Your Lives Tour film. Yondr pouches will be provided upon entry to the venue to store your mobile device during the show. Your device will be locked in the pouch on arrival and unlocked when you leave at the end of the night.”
Iron Maiden have been consistent advocates for phone-free concerts throughout the Run For Your Lives Tour, having told fans to “put your phones away” ahead of the run’s launch in 2025. The enforcement for the Paris filming makes that preference official policy for what will be one of the tour’s most documented nights.
The Run For Your Lives World Tour was announced in September 2024 as a global celebration of the band’s 50th anniversary since forming in Leyton, East London in 1975, with the setlist focused on material from their first nine studio albums. The run has been one of the most commercially successful rock tours of the cycle — Billboard ranked it in the Top 3 of its Top Rock Tours 2025 chart, with the band generating approximately $150.9 million in revenue across 1.5 million tickets sold. The 2026 European leg, which includes the Paris filming date, represents the latest chapter of an expanded campaign that has since added North American, Central and South American, and Oceania dates. Iron Maiden will tour Australia in November — their final shows of the tour before a 2027 touring hiatus — with extra shows added due to demand.
The Run For Your Lives setlist has drawn heavily on fan favourites and rarities, including “Infinite Dreams” from Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, played live for the first time in 38 years. The set typically includes “The Number of the Beast,” “Run to the Hills,” “The Trooper,” “Hallowed Be Thy Name,” “Aces High,” “Fear of the Dark” and “Wasted Years.”
One of the most commercially successful heavy metal bands in history, Iron Maiden have sold more than 100 million albums worldwide and placed 29 titles on the Billboard 200, including four top 10 entries. Their most recent studio album Senjutsu (2021) debuted at No. 3 — their highest-ever U.S. chart position — while The Book of Souls (2015) and The Final Frontier (2010) both peaked at No. 4.
Travis Kelce seemed to have the time of his life vibing to the beat and shouting out to a crowd of more than 20,000 at Chris Lake‘s L.A. Historic Park show by Goldenvoice and Framework Friday night (June 19).

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who’s engaged to Taylor Swift, showed up to night one of Lake’s special two-night sold-out event at Los Angeles State Historic Park, with a source telling Billboard Kelce shared a VIP table with teammates and friends ahead of getting on the mic beside Lake.
Lake’s got musical ties to the pop star, as he previously remixed Life of a Showgirl single “Opalite.”
In reels from the show shared by concertgoers @mightrave and @bodybybina on Instagram, Kelce’s seen on stage, trying to hype the room before letting loose a wild scream over the soundsystem.
And in a clip posted by Framework, who co-produced the event that spanned Friday-Saturday night with Goldenvoice, Kelce’s seen jumping and dancing with glee at Lake’s side, surrounded by bubbles filling the air.
Swift was not present at the show with her fiancé, and was rumored to be having ladies’ weekend with friends at her Watch Hill property in Westerly, R.I., on Saturday. The pair are, so it seems, set to wed very soon: Swifties wondered if New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani possibly confirmed gossip last week that the couple will tie the knot in Manhattan over the Fourth of July. A city official said Mamdani’s comment was only based on a TMZ report that Swift applied for a permit at Madison Square Garden for the July 4 weekend.
Lake’s show in L.A. on Friday featured supporting acts Ayybo, Ragie Ban and Kitty. Saturday’s lineup, led by Lake again, also has Hot Since 82, Club de Combat and Strawbry on the bill.
Lake reworked the pure pop of Swift’s “Opalite” into a club-ready track back in January after connecting with Kelce over Instagram DM; the NFL player told him his 2025 album Chemistry was a favorite. In creating his version of Swift’s release, Lake told Billboard in March that he had to figure out how to pair the “vibe and the sentiment of the song with the beats from my world, and make [the remix] make sense as something that would fit amongst other songs from my world without it standing out like a sore thumb.”
“Pretty much 99.9% of all the music I’ve ever played or made in my life is with minor chords,” Lake said. “To work with a vocal that wasn’t written to be used that way was really challenging. That’s the bit I’m actually the most happy with… If you listen to the original and to the feel of how her chorus comes in, it’s very happy and uplifting, whereas in the remix, I don’t know what emotion you’d call it, but maybe it’s sort of hauntingly emotive. It makes you feel a completely different way. Then the way it launches into the drop, I haven’t done that on a remix before. I’m really proud of it.”
Ariana Grande‘s Petal tracklist is here.

After rolling out Petal‘s song titles bit by bit on her Eternal Sunshine Tour, the entire song set was confirmed via the show’s big screen Friday (June 19) in Inglewood, Calif.
Grande shared a reel of the tracklist’s unveiling on Instagram after her third night at Kia Forum.
Petal‘s lead single, “Hate That I Made You Love Me” — which is the second track on the album — debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 upon its release earlier this month. Early June also marked the launch of Grande’s tour, which makes its way throughout the U.S. over the summer and runs through Sept. 1 in London. To date, “Hate That I Made You Love Me” is the only new song from Petal to make the show’s setlist.
The track is surrounded by opener “Kiss Me” and the collection’s title track, “Petal,” on the album’s full song list. “Big Feelings” and “Freak” mark the midway point of the LP, while a tune called “Nowhere, Nobody” closes things out. The followup to Grande’s Billboard 200 chart topper Eternal Sunshine (2024), Petal will officially be released on July 31.
See the Petal tracklist, stylized as shown at Grande’s show, below:
1. “kiss me”

Ye has delivered the deluxe edition of his latest album, Bully.
The expanded version of the rap superstar’s 12th studio album arrived Friday (June 19), featuring updated mixes of the original tracks as well as new songs “OK” featuring Don Toliver and “Mission Control.”

“NEW COVER,” Ye (formerly Kanye West) wrote on Instagram alongside the black-and-white Bully deluxe artwork, which features a close-up of a child’s face flashing metal grills.
Bully was originally released on March 28 through Larry Jackson’s Gamma and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 behind BTS’ ARIRANG.
Alongside the deluxe release, Ye also unveiled a music video for the album’s opening track, “Kings,” once again tapping his wife, Bianca Censori, to direct the visual.
The surreal clip features Ye driving a convertible packed with an eclectic cast of passengers, including a nurse, an older man reading a newspaper while wearing sunglasses, and a wildly dancing figure with unusual facial features. As the vehicle slowly moves down a dusty road against a stark mountainside backdrop, a police car with flashing lights follows close behind.
The minimalist video culminates with Ye abruptly slamming on the brakes before being launched from the vehicle into an electric chair. Two officers then place a crown-shaped electrode on his head.
Ye recently launched the Bully deluxe rollout with the release of “Gemini Season,” accompanied by a Censori-directed video. Earlier this year, she also helmed the visual for “Father,” Ye’s collaboration with Travis Scott from Bully.
The rapper is also preparing for a series of live performances. His website recently revealed a July 4 Independence Day show at the Alamodome in San Antonio, along with a pair of Chicago dates scheduled for Sept. 3 and Sept. 4 at Soldier Field.
After performing for 70,000 fans at Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi, Georgia, Ye is set to return stateside for two shows at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, on June 26 and June 28. The Tampa concerts will mark his first U.S. performances since his April shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Additional international dates are scheduled throughout the summer, with stops in Albania and Spain in July before the tour continues in Portugal in August.
Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are giving fans a closer look at their lavish wedding celebration in Sicily.
On Saturday (June 20), the 30-year-old pop superstar shared a series of stunning photos on social media from her second wedding ceremony in Palermo, Sicily.

“Mr & Mrs,” Lipa captioned the Instagram carousel.
The gallery featured intimate moments from the celebration, including close-up shots of the newlyweds embracing, a striking black-and-white portrait in front of the venue’s grand architecture, and joyful images of the couple dancing and popping a bottle of champagne.
Several celebrity friends congratulated the couple in the comments, including Elton John, Katy Perry and Troye Sivan. “Congratulations, an honour to have been there to celebrate your love,” John wrote. Perry added, “Sweetie babies,” alongside a red heart emoji, while Sivan left a white heart emoji.
Lipa and Turner’s star-studded celebration took place at Villa Valguarnera, an 18th-century mansion near Palermo, earlier this month. Approximately 300 guests attended the event, where John serenaded the newlyweds with a performance of his classic hit “Your Song.”
The Sicilian celebration drew an impressive guest list, including Donatella Versace, Joe Alwyn, Olivia Dean, Charli XCX and her husband, The 1975’s George Daniel, as well as Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker and his wife, Sophie Parker, and Mark Ronson and his wife, Grace Gummer.
The Sicily ceremony came just weeks after Lipa and Turner officially tied the knot during an intimate wedding at London’s Old Marylebone Town Hall on May 31.
Lipa confirmed her engagement to Turner in June 2025 after months of speculation. The couple first sparked romance rumors in January 2024 when they were spotted together at an afterparty following the premiere of Masters of the Air.
Ella Langley is opening up about the role faith has played in her life.
During a stop on her Dandelion Tour on Thursday (June 18), the 27-year-old country singer paused her concert at Zoo Amphitheatre in Oklahoma City to deliver a heartfelt message to fans about overcoming struggles and finding purpose through God.

In fan-captured footage from the show, Langley began by telling the crowd that she reads the Bible “almost every single day” and explained that she now turns to her faith rather than other destructive coping mechanisms.
“Instead of trying to go to other things like I have before — either men or drugs or other feelings — to try and make myself feel a certain way, I go to him first,” the singer-songwriter said, pointing toward the sky.
Langley then reflected on a difficult period in her life.
“Last year I didn’t think I wanted to be here anymore,” she said. “And when I’m standing here right now, I’m so grateful for the day that I was given today. The only thing that has changed my mind on that situation is our God.”
The “Choosin’ Texas” hitmaker did not elaborate on the challenges she faced last year, but in August 2025 she canceled multiple opening dates on tours with Morgan Wallen and Riley Green to focus on her health.
Billboard has reached out to Langley’s representatives for additional comment.
“The thing I thought I was cut out to do my whole entire life, I didn’t know if I could do it,” she told the crowd, adding that it can be difficult to face criticism on social media when others do not know what someone is experiencing behind the scenes.
“But I’ll tell you right now, the thing that changed my mind is I realized that I have a purpose in this life,” the singer continued. “And my purpose is to stand up here, share my testimony, to be honest with my crowd, to be honest with my fans, to write the best songs that I can write, to put on the best show that I can put on, and that’s all I can do.”
Langley closed her remarks with an encouraging message to the audience.
“I just want you to remember that there’s one North Star and we all know who that is,” she said. “So if you just wake up and focus on that every day, you give 1% better than you gave the day before, you’re going to get through it. And you’re going to be back to living life, I promise you.”
Langley has made historic strides on the Billboard charts, recently becoming the first woman to earn three simultaneous top 10 hits on the Country Airplay chart with “Be Her,” “Choosin’ Texas” and her Wallen collaboration, “I Can’t Love You Anymore.”
Langley’s sophomore album, Dandelion, also spent two weeks atop the Billboard 200 in April. Her tour in support of the project continues through August.
