Music reviews of Panamericana (Dig)
Music Review: Late night chill'n music
Rating: 4 Stars
I had the pleasure of seeing Federico Aubele last summer at the Hollywood with Thievery Corporation and others as one leg of KCRW's World Music Festival and he was amazing. I love his first disc Gran Hotel Buenos Aires and find this one to be possibly as good but not better. go for the first one if you are buying for the first. Like Gran Hotel Buenos Aires it is all in Spanish set to trip hop beats. It is xtremely mellow with less emphasis on Argetina tango but rather a broader musical palette results. The sexy female voices enhance the sensuality of the disc making it one of those discs for late nights. "La Esquina' is a perfect example of the sensuous nature of the music. The female vocals echo romanticism and sexuality that is set to a back beat with interrupting Latin guitar licks. Things get a little more lively on "La Orilla" but the sexy whisper voice(like a Latin Marlyn Monroe singing happy birthday Mr. President) still shouts candle light in the bedroom. The disc is pretty safe without any groundbreaking ideas but pleasant nonetheless. All the tracks fall within the barely over three minute range with the exception of "En Cada Lugar" that comes in at over four minutes. This is a laid back disc made to enjoy with someone special. Recommended for romantic hearts.
Description of Panamericana (Dig)
AUBELE FEDERICO PANAMERICANAThe name of Federico Aubele's new record references the Pan-American highway, a road that stretches--except for a 54-mile gap in the Columbian rainforest--from northern Alaska all the way to the southernmost tip of Latin America. Built as a supply chain during World War II, long stretches of it are more dirt than concrete, and less than obvious signage could leave you hopelessly lost. It's more of an idea than a road really, a metaphor for the complicated connections between these two continents. For Aubele, it's a way to summarize the fused cultural mismatch at the heart of his sound. As on his 2004 debut Gran Hotel Buenos Aires, Panamericana is grounded in Latin guitar, tango, and Argentine flavor, but it's also steeped in a more modern brew of trip-hop, dub, and ambient textures. The combination works, of course; released on Thievery Corp's ESL label, it fits nicely with the subgenre of ethnic-infused acid jazz that's also sprung up around artists like Gotan Project and Fila Brazilia over the last decade or so. Still, one wonders what Aubele's music would be like without the velvety bass hooks and electronic sheen. His guitar work here, though not as prominently featured as it was on Gran Hotel, beams through the production rumble like filtered sunshine as it wraps around a mix of male and female voices (all singing in Spanish). He could probably ditch the whole fusion approach and release straight world music (à la Seu Jorge, say) that matches or exceeds the material here. But though it can get weighed down by its reverb-laden haze, Panamericana's airy melodies and sensual tunes will still set you adrift in a warm sea of daydreamy armchair travel. --Matthew Cooke
