A little-known compilation from 1982 that focuses on young musicians who remained at the prestigious Uruguayan label Sondor. It features songs with uniquely Uruguayan indigenous feel by mostly unknown musicians, among them, the most notable is Gonzalo Moreira's "Mentiroso," composed by Jaime Roos and later performed at Repique and La Escuelita. A gem with floating, melancholic feel and percussion, with Mariana Ingold and Estela Magnone also participating in the chorus. Other great songs include subtle folk number "Paso Molino" composed by Fernando Cabrera and the graceful "La Guitarra" arranged by Fernando Yañez. The artwork is also impressive, as if it opens a new door.
ウルグアイ名門Sondorに残された若手ミュージシャンに焦点を当てた82年の知られざるコンピレーション。ほとんど無名のミュージシャンによるウルグアイ特有の土着感覚を持った楽曲が並びますが、注目はその後もRepiqueとLa Escuelitaでも収録されるJaime Roos作曲によるGonzalo Moreiraの”Mentiroso”がなんと言っても素晴らしい。浮遊するように哀愁を帯びパーカッションを交えMariana IngoldやEstela Magnoneもコーラスで参加した珠玉の一曲。他にもFernando Cabrera作曲による幽玄な雰囲気のフォーク・ナンバー”Paso Molino”、Fernando Yañezアレンジによる嫋やかな”La Guitarra”など良曲入ってます。新しい扉を開くようなアートワークも素敵。
