Tabaré Leyton: Charrúa
Tabaré Leyton´s 15-track album Charrúa is a good blend of different music styles and atmospheres.
Several songs have a nylon string guitar as the dominant instrument, others were interpreted with a classical rock ensemble. Some piano licks here and there, a violin and the bandoneon – and always the warm
and characteristic voice of this outstanding singer from Montevideo, living in Paris, France.
Max Masri, producer-composer
of the electrotango ensemble
Tanghetto noticed the singer
and produced his second album,
too. Max Masri´s beautiful hymn
Montevideo is definitely one of
my favorite tracks. Listen also to
the elegant but much too short
bandoneon solo, and you know
what I mean.
Tabaré Leyton attracts our attention also as good songwriter.
Five of the songs were written
by him, and one with Max Masri. Leyton´s relaxed vals Nada
para ofrecer has definitely something to offer.
The styles on this album range
from rocking pop songs to classical folk oriented songs, and inbetween. Some are suited for the
dancefloor such as No va más
performed with percussionistcomposer-singer Ruben Rada
and Tanghetto, and the classical
tango Arrabal Amargo written by
Carlos Gardel and Alfredo Le Pera. The rocking Charrúa is performed with the rock singer-guitar player
Emiliano Brancciari and Tangocrisis. A further, different style of music is found in Como siempre which
surprises with a great salsa feeling.
I can definitely recommend this album with its versatile facets of good music. Tabaré Leyton as an outstanding and very relaxed singer, with dark sunglasses, of course.
