The phrase "music can take us anywhere" makes perfect sense when you listen to an album like Gale, by David Eidelstein, known in the music scene as Roller. Alongside his participation in the renowned Chilean funk-hip hop band Los Tetas, Rulo showcases a musical proposal that differs significantly from what he performs with his bandmates. Gale It is a tour through musical landscapes, inspired by the artist's marked influences, like Violeta Parra and Fito Páez.
Rulo still breathes hip hop, funk and reggae, but he also gives credit to poets like Fernando Pessoa and Pablo Neruda, to whom he pays a prominent tribute in the song The River, to take a step forward in their career. Your Mystery – first official single from the album –, Wandering Bird, A Handful of Gold y Skull, They are the rock-infused hallmark of this well-crafted album, produced by Cristóbal Carvajal and Eidelstein himself; however, It lands in its clear intention to explore the musical geography of South America..
As you listen to – and feel – the album, it encourages the listener to become enveloped in an interesting mix of poetry, notes backed by excellent arrangements in choirs and strings, as well as some masked programmed beats (something of the musical legacy of Los Tetas, probably). A whole musical theme with noticeable touches of rock, passing through tango, but above all, honoring the melodic heritage of traditional Latin American music.
