El presente estudio de caso cualitativo constituye un acercamiento a las estrategias de autogestión llevadas a cabo por once músicos underground de la ciudad de Medellín, durante el confinamiento por Covid 19 entre los años 2020 a 2023. Debido al confinamiento global y a las restricciones derivadas del mismo, el sector cultural resultó seriamente afectado durante la pandemia. Sin embargo, los artistas presentes en esta muestra apelaron a su creatividad para reinventarse y proyectar sus obras desde el ciberespacio. El uso de DAWs (Digital Audo Workstation), software para la creación y grabación de pistas musicales, le permitió a los músicos aprovechar las largas horas de ocio a puerta cerrada produciendo canciones como testimonio de una época aciaga. Las redes sociales, como Facebook, Instagram o YouTube en conjunto con plataformas virtuales de distribución musical, como CDBaby o Distrokid fueron los canales de comunicación con el mundo exterior de los artistas independientes underground. En consecuencia, la creación de contenido representado en posts, streamings, reels e historias, salvó las distancias para conectar al artista con su público, en aras de posicionar sus proyectos artísticos.

Consequently, the creation of content represented in posts, streamings, reels and stories bridged the gap to connect the artists with the audience, in order to position their artistic projects.
