Bronca
Buenos
Aires
is
a
jazz
poem
by
López
Ruiz
to
the
city
he
loved,
not
just
for
its
virtues
but
also
its
faults,
and
the
recording
was
an
ambitious
project
that
gathered
many
of
the
prominent
jazz
musicians
of
Buenos
Aires.
However,
due
to
the
repressive
political
context
of
the
time,
Bronca
Buenos
Aires
was
not
performed
live
upon
its
release.
The
text
that
accompanies
the
music,
written
and
narrated
by
José
Tcherkaski,
was
too
daring
despite
not
being
directly
outspoken
against
the
dictatorship
that
ruled
in
Argentina,
and
broadcasters
kept
a
distance
under
fear
of
retaliation
by
the
military
establishment.
Inexplicably,
several
later
re-releases
of
Bronca
Buenos
Aires
omitted
the
spoken
word
overdubs,
reducing
the
work
to
an
instrumental
album
and
stripping
it
of
half
of
its
beauty
and
significance.
Altercat
proudly
brings
you
a
new
reissue
of
this
essential
recording
IN
FULL,
with
its
original
spoken
words
in
Spanish,
respecting
the
original
artwork
and
with
an
accompanying
booklet
with
an
English
translation
of
the
texts,
including
a
foreword
by
José
Tcherkaski.
Sound
sourced
from
the
master
tapes,
and
caringly
mastered
by
Pablo
López
Ruiz.
