Bajofondo - Tango Club (CD)

All Music Guide

Luciano Supervielle (former member of the hiphop group Plátano Macho) took part of the collective Bajofondo Tango Club, commanded 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 close to Gotan Project's seminal work it's more than that. There's more a “rioplatense" feeling than a tango one. Luciano Supervielle has created a delicate and wellcrafted work mixing candombe, tango, milonga and hip hop. Listening to the album is impossible not to think in Astor Piazzolla's tremendous influence over all the developments that are trying to take out elements from tango to settle them in a new and “electronic" environment.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 Bajo Fondo Tango Club's debut album, also featuring the voice of Adriana Varela. “Centroja", “Mateo y Cabrera", and “Miles de pasajeros" are the best moments of a pretty even album. - Iván Adaime, All Music Guide Read more Less
