| Putumayo World Music Presents: Nuevo Latino |
In the 1990s, the term "Nuevo Latino" was coined to describe a new type of
cuisine that blends ingredients from Latin America, Europe and the U.S. to create
an exciting and original fusion. A similar blend has occurred in the music world.
Young artists from the Americas and beyond have used a stock of Latin rhythms,
portions of alternative rock, reggae and electronica, spiced with local languages,
rhythms and instruments to create a flavorful musical stew.
In this new Latin music, hints of Cuban son, Brazilian bossa nova, Argentinean
tango, Colombian cumbia can be heard alongside touches of contemporary blues,
loungy surf music, ragamuffin, trip-hop and hip-hop.The mélange reflects the
multicultural influences guiding a new generation of musicians.
Nuevo Latino features the Cuban soul of singer and songwriter Raul Paz,
Mexican musical and cultural revolutionaries Los de Abajo and newcomer
Federico Aubele, who presents subtle remixes of tango from his native Argentina.
The Eric Clapton-inspired guitar of Spanish superstar Jarabe De Palo reveals the
deep influence of blues on his music.
New York band Mosquitos offers a beguiling blend of accessible rock and bossa
nova.The multicultural background of London-based Kad Achouri is reflected in his
intriguing music. French/Spanish singer Sergent Garcia’s mix of Cuban salsa,
Jamaican reggae and ragamuffin have earned him worldwide fame.
Nuevo Latino also features Acida, an Argentinean husband and wife duo that
perform loungy Latin music. Spanish singersongwriter Javier Álvarez, who was
discovered singing in Madrid’s subways, is featured as our Colombian alternative
rockers Aterciopelados. The collection is closed out by Kana, a French reggae
band with a Spanish lead singer.
The artists on the Nuevo Latino collection represent some of Putumayo’s favorite
songs by singer-songwriters, remixers and rockers who are among the innovators
of these exciting new directions in Latin music.
In addition to detailed liner notes in English, Spanish and French with artist
profiles and photographs, the booklet includes an exclusive recipe from Patria, the
New York restaurant that helped pioneer Nuevo Latino cuisine.
