Editorial Reviews

Luciano Supervielle (a former member of the hip-hop group Plátano Macho) took part in the collective Bajofondo Tango Club, led by Gustavo Santaolalla. This is his first solo effort, "introduced" by Bajofondo Tango Club, performed by some of its members, and produced by Santaolalla and Juan Campodónico. Luckily, this is not another album that tries to make the perfect mix between tango and electronica. Although it can be aligned closely with Gotan Project's seminal work, it's more than that. There's more of a rioplatense feeling than a tango one. Supervielle has created a delicate and well-crafted work mixing candombe, tango, milonga, and hip-hop. Listening to the album, it's impossible not to think of Astor Piazzolla's tremendous influence over those seeking to incorporate elements of tango into new and "electronic" environments. Instrumental tracks are mixed with others that feature guest singers like Daniel Melingo and Cristobal Repetto. There's a new version of "Perfume," originally included in Bajofondo Tango Club's debut album, also featuring the voice of Adriana Varela. "Centrojá," "Mateo y Cabrera," and "Miles de Pasajeros" are the best moments of a consistently intriguing album. Ivan Adaime, All Music Guide
