Uruguay's leading songwriter Jaime Roos's 1984 album. We think it's one of his best works, with Hugo Fattoruso's full participation as a kind of co-writer, and it includes "Pirucho" with candombes, acidic electronic sounds, and psychedelic whispering vocals. This tune is best. Other highlights include "Nunca Fuiste Al Cin," a musica Uruguaiyo with a unique rhythm and obscure atmosphere, "Si Piensas En Mí," a beautiful folky track featuring female vocals (Mariana Ingold and others), elegant "Victoria Abaracón" with Mateo on vocals, and "Luces En El Calabró," a quality fusion track. The first CD reissue, released in Uruguay in 2015.

ウルグアイを代表するソングライターJaime Roosの84年作。Hugo Fattorusoが共作の様な形で全面参加した最高傑作の一つにあげたい作品で、カンドンベ、アシッディな電子音、サイケデリックに囁くようなヴォーカルが絡む”Pirucho”を収録。この曲がヤバいです。他にもオブスキュア雰囲気の独特のリズムのムジカ・ウルグアイヨ”Nunca Fuiste Al Cin"、女性ヴォーカルをフィーチャーした美しいフォーキーな”Si Piensas En Mí”、マテオがヴォーカルで参加した流麗な”Victoria Abaracón”、上質なフュージョン・トラック”Luces En El Calabró”など聴き所満載。2015年のウルグアイリリース初リイシューCD版。
