And now for something completely different

I used to be a huge fan of new music. Sadly, nowadays I listen to more old stuff than new and don’t even know what’s coming out…except this:
Today I sent my pre-order in to Amazon.com for Argentine Federico Aubele’s Panamericana album, scheduled to be released September 18.
Here’s a blurb from his record label, Eighteenth Street Lounge Music’s (think Thievery Corporation) website:
“The highly anticipated follow up to Federico Aubele’s critically acclaimed debut, Gran Hotel Buenos Aires. Aubele delves deeper into rich latin sounds with virtuoso guitar playing, hypnotic rhythms, smoky dub atmospherics, and the sensual vocals of Amparanoia, newcomer Natalia Clavier, and a collaboration with Calexico.”
From the few tracks I’ve heard on MySpace, I’m 100% convinced that this album purchase won’t let me down.
My days as a music reviewer are over, so I won’t try to write a whole article on this. I’ll just say that “Postales”, “Esta Noche”, and “Contigo”, are all superb songs and that Aubele’s 2004 debut, was a slick, Latin guitar-over-beats magnum opus.
Go buy it!
