Martin Buscaglia Listen to Cerebro, orgasmo, envidia, sofía

"Como si Caetano hubiese nacido anteayer y David Byrne fuera latino de verdad" Jaume R. Salas (El País, España)

“Martin shared stage with Caetano Veloso, Charly García, Luis Alberto Spinetta, Arnaldo Antunes, Kiko Veneno, Fito Paéz y Jorge Drexler”…

One of the most complete and avant-garde music scene of Latin America artists

Magical groovero, friendly and experimental, the creator of playful uruguayismo stops at the Antipodes of the harmful noise and is shipped with a lush album.

"Candombe-funk to the small perfect songs bound Classics (Ode to my bike, strange pumpkin), Buscaglia built an exciting story musical, intense and unpredictable". ROLLING STONE, "the 50 albums of 2010."

BUSCAGLIA has recorded with artists like Arnaldo Antunes, Juana Molina, Kiko Veneno, Hugo Fattorusso, Ruben Rada and played also with musicians like Fito Paéz and Jorge Drexler as he acted as "host" in the shows in Uruguay of people like Maceo Parker, Caetano Veloso, Luis Alberto Spinetta, Charly García and Paul Mc Cartney.

He composed for theatre, for Carnival, played Salsa bass on cruises of the Caribbean and he has collaborated as musician and producer with countless artists.

The Uruguayan singer-songwriter is almost a living myth... In Uruguay, Martin Buscaglia is considered a talent in the rough, an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and an author of as original as well elaborate songs. What was missing then to begin to devote themselves beyond their country's borders? Missing a disk as “Temporada de conejos”... a disk that you need to hear from end to end: is a choral work, in which the candombe converses with jazz, bossanova with author's song, rock with African rhythms. To not let it pass: educates and entertains. Zona de Obras, Spain.

"Few things around at the moment come close to sounding as funky as this new album from Uruguayan singer and songwriter Martin Buscaglia. Full of live instruments and Buscaglia’s soulful Spanish vocals, this will be a real revelation for anyone who appreciates everything from Prince to Gilberto Gil. Buscaglia flits brilliantly between styles but it’s when Buscaglia has his funky cap on that he really excels, like on the tight grooving “Spam” or the reggae-spirited “Si No Esta Roto No Lo Arregles”. There’s so much glorious variety on this album that it’s almost impossible to categorise it, but it’s a real treat from start to end and definitely deserves to be given some serious listening time." Oliver Keens, JunoPLus, UK.
