Joaquin Carámbula - Para Ella (2018)



In winter 2017 Joaco, a virtual stranger, came to my house. His band Detonantes had just split up and he was looking for a producer to work on two or three songs he had composed in that period. Luke from Electric Child gave him my number. We had never spoken before but we used to hang out at the same parties and clubs, and I had seen him play with his band a few times. Chemistry was instantaneous and soon after, a full album started blooming around our production sessions. 

We worked the melodies, lyrics and chords, and with that we went into mythical studios Ion to track the acoustic guitars and most of the lead vocals.  

Coincidently I had to dismantle my studio for personal reasons, so we decided the best move was to take all the equipment to his humble-and-recently-inherited house (there was a painful but relieving process going on) to do the arrangements and add a bit of salt & pepper to enhance the songs.

“Re Loco” is the obvious single. “Quisiera que sea” tranquilizes me like nothing else. "Para Ella" still gives me the chills.
