ABOUT BAJOFONDO
International Recording Artist Bajofondo is made up of eight musicians from
Argentina and Uruguay. A "collective of composers, singers and artists,"
Bajofondo is part of the movement popularizing tango into mainstream World
Music. They blend acoustic tango and electronic music
in an evolving genre known as "Electrotango" or "Tango Fusion."   Bajofondo
appeals to more than tango lovers, using innovative forms of DNB, house
music, chill out and trip-hop. Their latest album, Mar Dulce, is a mix of
Latin Alternative and contemporary music of the Río de la Plata at the
border of Argentina and Uruguay.

Gustavo A. Santaolalla is the prime mover behind Bajofondo. Santaolalla has
produced albums for the films Amores Perros, 21 Grams and The Motorcycle
Diaries. Santaolalla received a 2006 Academy Award for Achievement in music
written for motion pictures (Original Score) for Brokeback Mountain as well
as a 2006 Golden Globe Award (Best Original Song). In 2007, he received his
second Academy Award for the film score to Babel. Gustavo dedicated the
award to his father and to his country Argentina.
