José Pedro Beledo, a Montevideo-born multi-instrumentalist, has attracted attention since his teens, collaborating with top musicians such as Opa, Pedro Aznar, and Ruben Rada, and has since achieved international success. This album is a collaborative work with narrator Fabian "Pato" Lopez, recorded in the United States around 1987-1988. It likely conceptual content, but remains a mystery. Featuring contributions from Popo Romano, Alex Fattoruso, and others, this album blends elements of latin, jazz, rock, and folk with instruments like the sitar to create a fusion of world music. It includes approximately 30 tracks of varying lengths, ranging from songs that showcase Beledo’s songwriting talent to more experimental pieces. This is a rather unusual style for an Ayui release, reminiscent of musicals or theatrical works. Released in 1991, towards the end of the record pressing era.
10代の頃から注目を集めOpa, Pedro Aznar, Ruben Radaはじめトップミュージシャンとの共演を果たし、以降は国際的に活躍してきたモンテビデオ生まれのマルチ奏者José Pedro Beledo。本作は87年から88年頃にアメリカで録音されたナレーターFabian "Pato" Lopezとの共同名義作品。おそらくコンセプチュアルな内容が潜んでますが謎。Popo Romano, Alex Fattorusoなどが参加しながらラテン、ジャズ、ロック、フォークの要素にシタールなどを取り入れワールド・ミュージック要素を融合させた作品となっていて、Beledoのソングライティングの才を感じさせる楽曲から実験的な楽曲まで大小約30曲程が収録されています。ミュージカルやシアター作品のようにAyuiのリリースでもかなり珍しい作風と思います。レコードプレス末期に当たる91年のリリース。
