The only album by the Uruguayan five-piece band Almango in 1981. One of the most important album in the history of Uruguayan music with Vocalist Rolando Fleitas who has participated in La Escuelita/Repique works, guitarist Marcos Szpiro who participated in Maria de Fatima/Ruben Rada, Raúl Medina who plays the synth/electric piano which is also a key part of this work, bassist Gustavo "Mamut" Muñoz who plays on Jorginho Gularte/Chichito Cabral's austere albums and Hugo Jasa, one of the most important figure in the Uruguayan music scene. Total 8 track "P'al Peluza" with mellow synths, Ruben Rada's Candombe and Hugo Fattoruso's participation creates a pleasant groove. "Por Calles Lentas", AOR-style "Por Calles Lentas" with melancholy vocals, sparkling performance, and a gradually increasing sense of speed, beautiful groove "De Tanto Esperar" is a true Uruguayan experience, "Tras De Ti," with its odd-beat rhythm work, electric piano accents, wild/neat perfoming. Splendid.
ウルグアイの5人組バンドAlmangoの81年の唯一作。La Escuelita/Repique諸作に参加してきたヴォーカリストRolando Fleitas、Maria de Fatima/Ruben Radaなどの作品に参加するギタリストMarcos Szpiro、この作品のキーパートでもあるシンセ/エレクトリックピアノを操るRaúl Medina、Jorginho Gularte/Chichito Cabralなどの渋い作品に参加するベーシストGustavo “Mamut” Muñoz、そしてウルグアイ音楽シーンの重要人物の1人Hugo Jasaがメンバーに揃う非常に洗練され様々な試みが伝わるウルグアイ音楽史における重要作品の一つ。全8曲の構成で中でも柔らかなシンセ、Ruben Radaのカンドンベ、Hugo Fattorusoも参加しながら心地よいグルーヴを生む”P'al Peluza”、哀愁のヴォーカル、煌びやかな演奏、徐々に疾走感を増す展開なAOR調の”Por Calles Lentas”、正にウルグアイを感じさせる美しい”De Tanto Esperar”、変拍子の様なリズムワーク、アクセントのエレピ、ワイルドで端正な演奏が印象的な”Tras De Ti”など非の打ち所がありません。素晴らしいの一言です。
