5.0 out of 5 stars Uruguayan harmonies and rhythms will amaze you, June 12, 1998

In the interest of full disclosure, I'm the artist's son. Nevertheless, I think you'll find Hugo's approach to harmony and melody refreshing, particularly in today's melodically-restrained world. The disc combines traditional Arfro-Uruguayan rhythms (known as candombe) with all sorts of synth and piano sounds, and is probably unlike anything you've heard elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars MUSICA HASTA EL FIN DEL MUNDO, April 1, 1999

By 

[e-mail] (London, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Homework (Audio CD)

I worked with Hugo Fatorusso in the Uruguayan film EL CHEVROLE (The Lifejacket)in February 97 in Montevideo. He composed its title song 'Che Chevrole' with his lontime friend Ruben Rada. They put it together against the clock, just before the song was needed as playback for the climatic scene of the movie. The song was an instant hit and Hugo's performance in the film is one of its highlights.

I am delighted with his music for this CD and I am glad he is still composing as I remember him as a dedicated musician. I have nothing but praise for him. Filming EL CHEVROLE was one of the most gruelling experiences ever. Fatorusso went through it with immense professionalism. As the producer of the film I tried very hard that his and other artists' contributions was not lost through lack of commitment. I put together a deal to post-produce it in London with the best available sound. The result is majestic. The film was released in Uruguay in October 98. It broke all box office records and it is now a classic. Bien hecho Fato!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Jazzy candombe, November 17, 2004

 Hugo Fettoruso's HOMEWORK presents a fine achievement by one of the members of Grupo del Cuareim: yes, the candombe rhythm is present in HOMEWORK - but so is a more jazzy overlay and a number of elements not Candombe in nature.
