A collaboration work between Uruguayan legend Eduardo Mateo, who still has a great influence today, and Ruben Rada, a magician of candombe, whose Japan tour in 2021 is still fresh in our memory. At the time, Rada was living in Buenos Aires, so they recorded separately and it took time, in the end, the studio staff and Mateo completed the mix and released it. It's a true masterpiece in which the two singers' voices are moving as they blend folklore, rock, blues, psychedelic interspersed with candombe. Includes Rada's solo "La Cebolla" starts with magical voice and moves to a utopian atmosphere, Mateo's magical fusion number "Pizza" Para La Mañana, sung by the two of them "Palo Bembé" and "El Tordo" which evoke melancholy and Mateo style "Mirandomé" which he sent to the youngest daughter of his partner at the time. Ah, it's just wonderful.
現在も大きな影響力を持つウルグアイの伝説Eduardo Mateoと21年の日本公演も記憶に新しいカンドンベの魔術師Ruben Radaによる87年発表の共作。当時Radaがブエノスアイレスに住んでいた為、別々に録音をし時間をかけながら結果的にはスタジオ関係者とマテオがミックスを完了しリリースに至ったようです。フォルクローレ、ロック、ブルース、サイケ等がブレンドしたサウンドにカンドンベが交錯しながら二人の歌声に耳を傾けたい名作。呪術的な声から始まりユートピアな雰囲気へ移るRadaソロ曲”La Cebolla”、マテオの魔法がかかったようなフュージョンナンバー”"Pizza" Para La Mañana”、哀愁を誘う二人が歌う”Palo Bembé”, ”El Tordo”の両曲、当時のパートナーの末娘に送ったマテオ節が聴ける”Mirandomé”。あぁ素晴らしい。オリジナルのカセットにて入荷しました。
