A new album from Uruguay's charismatic Hugo Fattoruso, who came into the spotlight amid the reappraisal of South American music — and it even carries the name of OPA, the legendary band he was part of! Bewitching keyboard work. Call-and-response with the guitar. South American African rhythms. Real mastery. Absolutely superb! CDs now in stock too!
Hugo Fattoruso — the central figure in OPA, Uruguay's most important group, known to rare groove fans for "Magic Time" produced by Airto Moreira — has become a special presence in Japan as well, thanks to the recent reappraisal of South American music, the popularity of Uruguayan candombe, and repeated Japanese tours with Tomohiro Yahiro and Rey Tambor. Now he delivers a new album on Far Out. He even performs GOLDEN WINGS, the finest of OPA's classics! Wonderful.
