A little unknown 1988 piece by Argentine singer Gustavo Benavides. Featuring talented musicians such as Ricardo Nolé who have participated in important Uruguayan works and Osvaldo Fattoruso, Bucky Arcella, Sergio Blostein, Lalo De Los Santos. Characterized by husky vocal voice and strange groove, it features variety type of tracks, including the meloncholic synth ballad "Sathya", features a unique vocal based on a funk-like rhythm "Y Que Se Llame Esperanza" and the interesting Latin ensemble "Al Sur Hay Sol". This album seems to have been well known locally.
アルゼンチン人SSW Gustavo Benavidesが残した知られざる88年作。ウルグアイ重要作品に参加するRicardo NoléやOsvaldo Fattoruso, Bucky Arcella, Sergio Blostein, Lalo De Los Santosら実力派が参加。ハスキーな歌声にウルグアイ作品にもどこか似たようなストレンジ調のグルーヴが特徴で、メロンコリックなシンセバラッド”Sathya”、ファンク調のリズムを基調としたクセのあるヴォーカルが際立つ”Y Que Se Llame Esperanza”、面白いラテンアンサンブル”Al Sur Hay Sol”を筆頭にバラエティな内容で収録。ローカルでは知られていたようですがまだまだ世界的には未知数かなと思います。
