¿ Sabes qué? Lo único que quiero..........2005-02-25

... es encontrar algo de primera, música con magia!

OPA said "Hello" from Uruguay to New York City many years ago, and made the musical enchantment of the sonic vision of a true "poligloto", Hugo Fattoruso , along with brother Jorge Osvaldo and Ringo Theilmanns.

From the ashes of the fabulous famous "Los Shakers" sucessful in South America and would have continued,until the Opa was historically formed.

Opa mixed more than Gilberto Gil's famous frase "chiclete com banana" **, as Opa combined the influences of the candombe and murga from their homeland , brasilian sambossa, and jazz along with the rock sensibilities of the Beatles.

From the original tapes of OPA in the early incarnation (now avaliable , released in Spain),more consolidation of funk and samba has made this much to long forgotten recordings "rise form the ashes" , and become not only dancehall favorites, but the harmonic/melodic genius of Hugo (along with longtime musical compatriot "El Negro" Rada) is at peak during this time.

(Actually, Hugo Fattoruso has made major contributions as a sideman with Airto's "Fingers" grupo, Flora Purim, and many others, along with his incredible recordings with "Trio Fattoruso" and a recent solo piano release ~ Rada still much beloved in Uruguay, although his musics lately concentrate more to earn him a living than the original beautiful mad genius of his conceptions).

Aside form the grooving material, this cd features the fabulous composition "Corre Niña (Run Girl), and a top flight version of Rada's classic "Montevideo", both compete as the centerpiece tracks on the recording. "Tombo in 7/4", a staple of the Airto band has a beautiful intro before taking off into the ritmo in the time signature prescribed in the title!
"Muy Lejos Te Vas" is inspired as much by its rich harmony as in the subtle Beatles influence.

Percolations on the drums, solid basslines and impeccable hrmonic /melodic concept made Opa a grupo that will never be forgotten again. Some compatible interaction with sidemen also, no one gets in the way of the great sounds.

1000 stars , not a wasted moment. ¡ Con ritmo, estilo y sonido! ¡¡Viva Opa!!

nos vemos~

** "Chiclete..", Gil refers to mixing Brasilian musics with music form the United States,~gum, chiclete (USA) mixes with banana(Brasil). Opa mixed freely and easily the many styles of sound that was their influences!

Old time fan.......2003-07-07

I first heard and bought both albums in the '70's and have loved them. It's great that these two albums have been put on CD and I can't recommend them highly enough for fans of latin/fusion/jazz. These are classic albums that haven't lost a thing over the last 25 years.

Jazz "for export" from Uruguay, one step ahead of his time.......2002-02-20

Yes, Music from Uruguay to the world. if you want to hear "first class latin jazz", buy this CD. It's a classic of the uruguayan music. You can feel the fresh air of Montevideo in your head, while the CD run!!!!
The Fattorusso brothers give lessons of fussion. Great work of Airto too, and Ruben Rada, of course, in percussion...

If you love Return to Forever..........2001-09-18

This album is explosive. There's not much more to say. I'm a bit of a romantic, so my favorite track is "Paper Butterflies [Muy Lejos Te Vas]", with its delicate vocals and whispering flute (played by the noted Hermeto Pascoal). I may be biased, though, since my wife is a talented flautist herself. The guest appearances on these two albums (combined for reissue on one disc) read like a who's who in Latin jazz-fusion: the aforementioned Hermeto Pascoal, David Amaro (guitars), Airto Moreira (percussion and production) and Flora Purim (vocals on "Arise").
In some cases this music is sentimental, in others it's a bit hokey, but it is always inspired. The Fattoruso brothers have been too overlooked in the jazz community. I purchased this album because of Airto, but came to love it because of Hugo and George Fattoruso.
So, if you like the early, more Latin-tinged fusion of Chick Corea's Return to Forever (think the "Return to Forever" album and "Light as a Feather"), then you'll indeed love this.

A must have for any lover of latin jazz.......2000-04-20

I cannot believe this has been released on c.d.! What an original sound this group had,I had the pleasure of hearing them live in the early `70,s in S.Fla. "Golden Wings" still holds up today.They inspired my own musical career, greatly.

Very Good CD!!.......2003-07-17

I loved this CD!! The vocals and the rhythm are impeccable!! The beat is very well produced and he vocals are very beautiful. Though it is in Greek, the minute you listen to this song you feel like you should just get up and dance. "Opa Opa" means just that and I guarentee if you're into the dance scene, then this Cd is for you.
