Federico Aubele

Federico Aubele來自阿根廷，聽他的音樂，你也會立刻意識到一頭隨意的卷發(fā)，一雙看似倦怠眼睛的后面，是一個魅惑的靈魂。他曾長期在歐洲巡演。我們常會發(fā)現(xiàn)，對自己的故鄉(xiāng)最了解、最留戀的時刻，其實是身處異鄉(xiāng)的時候。站在遠處，仿佛時間和空間都拉長了距離，看到的是水晶中最不帶雜質的一面。王爾德曾言，站在遠處，一切的惡行最終也只剩下審美的價值。更何況本就深入骨髓的家鄉(xiāng)。
Federico Aubele, an Argentine singer/songwriter with an international following, creates music that incorporates a variety of styles, chief among them downtempo electronica, dub reggae, tango, and bolero. Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Aubele moved to Berlin in 2001, at the height of the Argentine economic crisis, and lived there for a few years. He later moved to Barcelona before returning to Buenos Aires. While living in Berlin, Aubele was signed to Eighteenth Street Lounge (ESL) Music, the label of Thievery Corporation, and made his recording debut in 2003 with a trio of double-sided 10" vinyl releases: Postales (b/w "El Amor de Este Pueblo"), Contigo (b/w "Ante Tus Ojos"), and Esta Noche (b/w "Malena"). The full-length album Gran Hotel Buenos Aires (2004) followed and included each of his previously released songs, along with another half-dozen. Thievery Corporation are credited with production, and indeed the album, particularly its dub basslines and downtempo ambience, sounds similar in tone to the duo's own work. Featured vocalists include Sumaia O and Gabriela Mairu, who sing several songs each, as well as Aubele himself. Panamericana (2007), Aubele's second album, was a departure from Gran Hotel Buenos Aires, showcasing a stronger singer/songwriter element and less of an electronica influence. Aubele played most of the instruments and sang half the songs, with Natalia Clavier singing the other half. Eric Hilton of Thievery Corporation is credited with production. In the wake of Panamericana's release, ESL released the La Esquina/Corazón 12" EP, which includes the two album standouts as well as accompanying remixes.
