Carrousel es un álbum de Enanitos Verdes lanzado en 1988. Grabado en Estudios Panda, Buenos Aires. Producción a cargo de Andrés Calamaro. Escuchalo completo en LyricStream.
Closing the trilogy produced by Calamaro, Carrousel presented a more mature and at times melancholic sound, reflecting the fatigue and accumulated experiences after years of non-stop tours throughout the American continent. The album is a showcase of the group's artistic evolution, with songs that explored freer structures and an instrumentation that sought to move away from the proven formulas of their previous records.
Songs like 'Guitarras blancas' and 'Soy un error' showed a more rock and rhythmic facet of the band, contrasting with ballads of fragile beauty and keyboard arrangements that added an unprecedented layer of sophistication to their proposal. The recording captured the internal chemistry of a group that already functioned as a single musical entity, achieving an organic and powerful sound that highlighted the quality of the performances of the three men from Mendoza.
Despite not having the same number of massive radio hits as its predecessors, the album was very well received by critics and their most loyal followers, who valued the honesty of the proposal and the search for new musical directions. Carrousel marked the end of its first golden era in Argentina before a brief hiatus and its subsequent relocation to Mexico to continue its successful international career definitively.
