Trecho de una entrevista al Master Candombe Drummer : Roberto Galletti .

Entrevistador - "Entonces no había muchos bateristas que tocaran candombe en el instrumento. Los nombres que me vienen a la mente son los de Luis Sosa ("El Kinto") y vos, con lo cual no quiero decir que fueran los únicos. Fue como que lo inventaron."

Galletti -"Lo inventaron Bebe Bassi y el "Loco" Prendes, porque eran mayores que nosotros y los primeros en grabar con Manolo Guardia, con Escayola; allá por el '66 ya estaban rimando candombe como locos en la batería."

Reviews
From the warm confines of noted Uruguayan troubadour's Fresh Medows, N.Y. home studio comes an exhilarating, eclectic package of Latin-American rooted pop embroidered with touches of new age, rock, and jazz. -Critic's Choice/Billboard

Hugo Fattoruso was a mop-topped '60s rock star who fronted Los Shakers in his native Uruguay. Since then he's worked closely over the years with Brazilian legends Milton Nascimento, Djavan and Toninho Horta, which probably explains why Homework is so warm and personable. This largely self-made, self-produced recording has the style and spirit of classic Brazilian tropicalismo of such masters as Caetano Veloso and Nascimento. It's a thrilling record with sparse acoustic guitars, hints of Latin percussion and Fattoruso's gentle, soothing vocals. -College Music Journal

It's hard to find something sweeter than a world flavored jazz date made for the sheer joy of it, by someone with chops to spare. Sweet set that comes from the heart, and is sure to touch open ears in need of a gentle jolt that will wear well. -Midwest Record Recap

The Uruguayan Fattoruso, known for his work with the group Opa, sings and accompanies himself on guitar, keyboards, and accordion on these 14 cuts. The solo numbers are rounded out by tunes where Fattoruso's friends and loved ones contribute percussion and additional guitars and vocals. His style reflects various influences: the music of Argentina and Uruguay, rock, jazz, and a pronounced Brazilian thrust, particularly bossa nova and tropicalismo. All of these are distilled into a highly original sound, airy yet rhythmic and dense, that makes for a strongly appealing release. -Marcela Breton/JazzTimes
