Picture a desert stretching endlessly out across the horizon until being disrupted dramatically by the rise of the Andes. Barren but beautiful, like a scene out of Walter Salles’s Motorcycle Diaries. Now cut to over ten million people captivated by two musicians delivering the most intimate of performances at an arts centre in a remote city nearby. A young woman in a red dress, face contorted with emotion, weaves the notes of her double bass around a breath-gentle voice, accompanied by barely-there jazz chords on an electric piano. The setting is San Juan Argentina, the year is 2017 and they were performing Barro Tal Vez, an achingly intense but minimalist Argentinian song and it went viral on YouTube. So begins the almost unbelievable story of Cande Buasso and Paulo Carrizo.
The song was written by the Argentine poet and rock legend Luis Alberto Spinetta at the age of fourteen – it’s about the transmutation of the soul. This was the first time that Carrizo and Buasso had appeared together, partnered up by the municipal theatre of their hometown. The song was, in essence, their first date, revealing a musical chemistry so rare, the pair knew they had to act fast.
Fast forward two years, thousands of airmiles and a global record deal later and this most captivating of musical couples that we’ve seen in years present their debut single, recorded with the famed producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Herbie Hancock) in LA.
