Amapola Dry / Press

“Nueva York — Lo que Amapola Dry hace no es solo una fusión de tango, música electrónica y pop. Sus "shows" también se caracterizan por los elementos visuales que se despliegan al ritmo de los compases, a los cuales se suma la voz melodiosa y sensual de la vocalista Sofía Juan. Ese es el concepto de la banda argentina liderada por el músico y productor Martin Fuks, quien tras haber trabajado con algunas bandas del movimiento Latin Mestizo en Barcelona, acumuló vasta experiencia para conquistar la escena musical neoyorquina.”

“Right behind me on the line was Argentine producer Martín Fuks, who had worked with some mestizo stars in Barcelona in the past but now lives in New York and does this pop-electro-tango thing called Amapola Dry. There're female and male vocals and Spanish and English lyrics. I like her singing in Spanish and him in English the best, but they both go both ways. The production is slick, chill and elegant, nothing too crazy experimental but neither cliché. I haven't done lounge DJ sets in a long time, but back in the beginnings of my career I used to play all sorts of electro-tango stuff, Gotan Project was the main dish of all my sets for many years, and this one would've fit perfectly right there.”

“It's through a stream of potentially calculated chance that I've found Amapola Dry. An Electro-Tango group with a few twists and spins in directions our ears can easily come to enjoy. Giving them an upper hand in North America is the frequent switch from Spanish to English vocals. They're fluent, bilingual, and depending on what track you're hearing they range from Jazz to Electro oriented Tangos. Today's track, the first of the album, probably has the strongest Tango feel. Give that one a listen.”

“Martin Fuks, el que fuera guitarrista, productor y compositor en la primera formación de Macaco, anda inmerso en estos momentos en un ambicioso proyecto de tango electrónico junto a la artista Sofía Juan.”

"Amapola Dry is like a cocktail: one part pop, one part groove and two parts tango..."
