In support of their release, Mar Dulce (Decca/Surco), Bajofondo will embark on a rare North American tour starting April 1st in Chicago. Hailing from the Rio de la Plata border region between Argentina and Uruguay, as well as Los Angeles, Bajofondo has crafted a hybrid sound that spans multiple regions of the world, melding rock, hip-hop, electronica, tango, Afro-Uruguayan candombe, and milonga. The collective's highly acclaimed album also features guest vocal appearances by artists as varied as Elvis Costello, Julieta Venegas, Nelly Furtado, Mala Rodríguez, and the late Lagríma Ríos.The line-up embarking on the thirteen-city tour includes Gustavo Santaolalla (guitar, percussion, vocals); Juan Campodónico (programming, guitar); Luciano Supervielle (keyboards, turntable); Javier Casalla (violin); Martin Ferres (bandoneón); Gabriel Casacuberta (bass); Adrian Sosa (drums); and Veronica Loza (visuals). With an ever-evolving sound, Bajofondo’s concerts consistently surprise. Their globally-influenced dance music backed by pulsing video art can quickly bleed into bandoneón solo turns that evoke the music of Steve Reich.
A notable member of Bajofondo is the Grammy® and Oscar® winning musical polymath, Gustavo Santaolalla. A primary architect of the rock en español movement over the last 25 years, Santaolalla has cultivated the sounds and careers of artists like Café Tacvba, Julieta Venegas, Molotov & Juanes. Renowned for his film scores, a partial list of Santaolalla’s work includes Ang Lee’s, Brokeback Mountain, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Babel and Amores Perros, and Walter Salles’ The Motorcycle Diaries. Despite the acclaim his work as a composer and producer has received, at heart he is a musical performer and on this North American tour Santaolalla delves into his live music roots.
