Federico Aubele 'Panamericana'

federicoaubele.jpg

Aubele's longings for Buenos Aires and South America as a whole, sets the tone for his new album, "Panamericana", slated for worldwide release in September 2007. On the 13 tracked "Panamericana," one hears guitars, the bandoneon and horns that play out Latin rhythms. There are tango influences, a touch of bolero, reggae/dub bass lines, hip-hop beats, and electronic sounds. Vocals, all in Spanish, float in a smooth and sensual way over congas, drums and heavy bass beats. Aubele, who wrote all songs and lyrics-with the exception of "Lluvia," lyrics written by Gonzal Garces-sings solos and duets on 6 of the tracks. A variety of South American artists are featured throughout "Panamericana," such as singer/songwriter Amparo Sanchez of Amparanoia, the Columbian singer Vernie Varela, and Natalia Clavier, one of Aubele's live show singers. Among other groups who collaborated on "Panamericana" are Calexico (trumpets and wah guitars), and the legendary Argentinean Latin ska band Los Fabulosos Cadillacs (horn section). Thievery Corporation's Eric Hilton produced the album and also released it on Thievery's ESL record label.
