Tinta roja es un álbum de Andrés Calamaro lanzado en 2006. Grabado en Casa Limón, Madrid. Producción a cargo de Javier Limón. Escuchalo completo en LyricStream.
Delving deeper into the path begun with his previous album, Calamaro immersed himself fully in the universe of tango with a selection of immortal classics arranged with a contemporary touch. Recorded once again in Madrid with the collaboration of Spanish and Argentine musicians, the album manages to capture the gritty essence of Buenos Aires from a European and cosmopolitan perspective.
Pieces like 'Como dos extraños' and 'Melodía de arrabal' are reinterpreted with reverential respect but with Andrés's personal stamp, who avoids falling into parody or exaggerated mimicry. Javier Limón's production brings a sonic clarity and organic instrumentation that allows every note and every word of the tango lyrics to resonate with deep and authentic emotion.
Tinta roja was received with enthusiasm both by lovers of the genre and by his rock followers, who discovered in these songs the same passion that Andrés puts into his own material. This album consolidated his image as a complete artist, capable of tackling traditional genres with a skill that only the greats of popular music can afford without losing their identity.
