Music reviews of Gran Hotel Buenos Aires
Music Review: Superb Argentinian Chill
Rating: 5 Stars
Excellent chill CD, but very distinctively Argentinian. Mixes chill beats with traditional Argentinian tango very effectively--the bandoneon, so typical of tango, is omnipresent, as is Aubele's fine guitar work.
The (female) vocalists have very strong Argentinian accents and styles, and are sexy as can be. The way the vocalist pronounces the word "ya" (now) in "Contigo" will make your knees weak if you know even a bit of Spanish. Aubele's singing isn't bad either. "Contigo" is both sexy and funny, if you understand much Spanish. If you don't, it'll make you want to learn.
The use of taped effects that reference the Argentinian musical past is fascinating, as is the way Aubele handles it technologically and artistically, from the very start--especially from the very start--of this magnificent disc.
Description of Gran Hotel Buenos Aires
Young Argentine guitarist Federico Aubele became transfixed with the music of Astor Piazzolla even as he listened to the cool lounge sounds of Thievery Corporation and the Six Degrees label. Incredibly, he put these influences together for an exceptional debut album entitled Gran Hotel Buenos Aires. It's produced by the Thievery guys, but one gets the sense that this really came from Aubele. He surrounds his downtempo beats delicate acoustic guitar figures, an array of sexy women singers (all vocals are in Spanish), and a rich tapestry of sounds and tones. Pushing flamenco and various styles of Latin music to the fore, he also draws upon dub and ambient, and it's the grace of this hip fusion that puts Aubelle up there with such genre benders as Manu Chao and the Gotan Project. Highlights include the upbeat "Ante Tus Ojos" and the rich Latin groove "Esta Noche," but the album is strong from beginning to finish. A truly impressive first effort. --Tad HendricksonAmbient CDs
