Legendary Uruguayan candombe master Ruben Rada who has been active at the forefront of the music scene since the 1960s with such groups as El Kinto, Opa, Totem, and has participated in solo works and numerous other projects, and last year his miraculous visit to Japan for tour made headlines here. Released in Uruguay/Argentina in 1985, this solo album features a variety of tracks with the participation of such allies as Beto Satragni, Urbano Moraes, and Osvaldo Fattoruso. Among them are A3 "Te Parece," which moves from a relaxed tension to a pleasant part, A1 "Flecha Verde" a jazz-rock style track with a grin in its detailed arrangement, tropical fusion track "Tengo Un Candombe" that will shake your body and "La Yapla Mata" an interesting experimental track with accents such as Beto Satragni's? electric bass. Collaged jacket and good recommendation for those who don't know where to start listening as it is a prolific work. Good condition.
60年代からEl Kinto, Opa, Totemなど第一線で活動を続け、ソロ作、幾多の作品にも参加、昨年にはここ日本への奇跡の来日ツアーが話題を呼んだウルグアイが生んだカンドンベマスターRuben Rada。本作はウルグアイ/アルゼンチンでリリースされた85年のソロ作。Beto Satragni, Urbano Moraes, Osvaldo Fattoruso等の盟友が参加しながら様々な要素が詰まったトラック群を披露しています。中でもゆったりとしたテンションから心地よいパートへ移っていくA3"Te Parece"、細かなアレンジがニヤッとするジャズ・ロック風A1”Flecha Verde”、思わず身体が揺れるトロピカル・フュージョンB1”Tengo Un Candombe Para Gardel”、Beto Satragniのエレクトリック・ベース?などがアクセントとなっている面白い実験風トラックB2”La Yapla Mata”あたりオススメ。やはり間違いないです。コラージュされたジャケット、多作なのでどこから聞いたらわからない方にもオススメできる内容かなと思います。盤キレイです。
