We have long been fascinated by Federico Aubele’s luminous, textured soundscapes, created by vocals, bandoneon sampling and the strumming of his nylon-string guitar, so it was a treat to have a chance to catch up with him at LAMC 2013!

His new album, 5, also boasts the participation of Natalia Clavier (live vocalist of Thievery Corporation and his wife) another one of our favorite artists, and you can check the results of that amazing collaboration in one of the tracks from 5, “Laberinto del Ayer”, which you can download for free– So get lost in that musical labyrinth right away!

Aubele will perform November 2 at Martyr’s, thanks to Sound Culture Center for Global Arts.
