about
For the first time on vinyl, Melingo's 2000 album "Ufa!" takes listeners on a captivating journey through the gritty streets of Buenos Aires. The album captures the essence of the urban landscape and the stories of an array of characters, including Jack The Ripper, Count Dracula, dealers, hustlers, trans love, and much more. "Ufa!" delves much deeper than its predecessor, "Tangos Bajos," as it solidifies Melingo's collaboration with tango lyricists Luís Alposta and Enrique Cadícamo across ten tracks. Melingo's partnership with the iconic tango poet Enrique Cadícamo becomes profoundly significant when he sets to music Cadícamo's poem "Siga Cochero," written at the age of 19 in 1929. This particular composition gains newfound relevance and preservation thanks to Melingo's intimate collaboration with Don Enrique.
The album also features renditions of beloved songs such as the Uruguayan Alfredo Zitarrosa's "El Violin De Becho," a chamamé, "Las Flores Del Paraguay," and the enchanting lullaby "Sin Luna," all exquisitely mastered by Myles Boisen.
