NEBBIA, LITTO
MELOPEA (MELOPEA DISCOS)
Melopea is one of most praised works by Litto Nebbia (the title of this album, years later, would become the name of his record label and production company).
It is an elegant opus in songwriting, and perhaps one of his most song-orientated creations.
A subtle pop and prog overtones paint an aura full of identity, and originality. The highlight is the presence of the venerated orchestral conductor, guitarist, and composer Rodolfo Alchourron.
He was a master in fusing the tango with jazz and rock, and piloted the amazing band Sanata Y Clarificación.
Also, worthy mentioning, there are lyrics of the renowned poet Mirta Delfipo. La Lección del Viajero is a beautiful folk song in a dylanesque vein.
Gloria y Guitarra and Augurio Del Silencioso have a peculiar Brazilian overtones. Los Lunes de La Humanidad (intersected by shivering tango nuances), Apelación De Otoño (a very moving interpretation) and the closing track simply called Final ("Ending", what a chic finale) are enriched by a flowering orchestration.
Enjoy, then, a remastered and restored sui generis Pop Adventure!
