In
1997 Latin Rock pioneer Gustavo Santaolalla created
Surco, the first Latin regional label dedicated to Hispanic
Alternative music and the home of Molotov, Juanes,
Orishas, Bersuit, El Otro Yo, La Vela
Puerca, Arbol, and Erica Garcia. Millions
of units and a handful of Grammys later, Surco takes its next
step by launching Vibra, a new division which taps into the
world of Electronica while never loosing touch with its Latin
identity. Vibra's first in a string of Electrolatino releases
is BAJOFONDO TANGO CLUB- a collective of artists and
musicians who team up to create an array of music based on
the fusion of diverse electronic genres (house, trance, trip
hop, dub, drum n' bass, etc) with the traditional sounds of
Tango. The collection brings together some of South America's
top names in both the electronic and tango world creating
an eclectic blend that represents a contemporary view of urban
life in the "Rio de la Plata". Without having been released
yet, Bajofondo Tango Club is already causing a stir
in Argentina's underground and is the newest vehicle for Santaolalla
to demonstrate his tremendous creativity as an artist and
producer.
