Gustavo Santaolalla
Monday, October 18th, 2004 by Paul Irishguitar // argentinean folk
Delicate guitar work. Satisfying quiet. Despite his appearance, Gustavo creates some music that is gentle and warm. His recent CD, Ron Roco, could have been recorded in 1875 in the hills of Argentina and you’d hear nothing different. All he gives us is intricate but simple guitar work; beauteous complexity, masked as a consumable and melody.This is music you’d play to quiet your darling newborn baby girl.
