.02A Juana de Arcolección compiles the music of several artists--though apparently dissimilar, all of them form a continuum of luminous sensibility. The new "folclore" of Luna Monti & Juan Quintero, the "pop electronico" of Entre Rios and Sebastian Escofet, the introspection of Maria Eva Albistur, Ezequiel Borra and Me Daras Mil Hijos, the Chilean freshness of Javier Mena, the sonic experiments of Axel Krygier and Puente Celeste, and the autumn overcoat of Hamacas al Rio and Mussa Phelps. All together now in a record that shines from the River Plate to the very near east of Japan.       Zambayonny's Tu Palabra Contra la Mía ("Your Word Against Mine") offers a skeleton key for a century that already seems to be over even before it had a chance to get going. After proving himself as the singer/songwriter of a really vast secret discography, cult music for a freemasonry of fans who circulated zamizdat copies of his songs as a kind of secret handshake, Zamba has chosen to remove his legendary mask to reveal his extreme and personal lyricism at his most fierce in his first live recording: an artist in full who explores the dangerous area between the intimacy of a generational blues and the unleashed lust of the most savage of lovesongs, forcing multiple meanings out of words clean and dirty, because, everything, everything, is something you can't ever have. Co-produced and published with Televisión Abierta.

With an original repertory and an infinite color palette, the trio reprises those vocal harmonies we like, celebrating the spring that comes bearing new rhythms and flavors for palates attuned to the music of the future.
