Ineditas [LP]

Eduardo Mateo / Diane Denoir - Ineditas [LP]

Ineditas showcases the incredible musicianship and creativity of Diane Denoir and Eduardo Mateo in their early years. These previously unreleased tracks, recorded between 1966 and 1968 in various settings, blend bossa nova, chanson francaise, jazz, and pop in unique ways, revealing another side of the South American scene during the 1960s. Born as Diana Reches, Diane Denoir made her debut as a singer in 1966, backed by Eduardo Mateo on guitar. Influenced by Francoise Hardy and Astrud Gilberto, along with her own unique style, she performed a special blend of chanson francaise, bossa nova (sung in Portuguese, English, and French), and jazz. By then, Mateo was already a well-known guitarist in the Uruguayan music scene and a sought-after arranger. He was also beginning to establish himself as an incredible songwriter, connecting different musical universes in unique ways. The two formed a fruitful artistic partnership that lasted until the early seventies. This album, originally released in 1998 on CD, is a compilation of various unreleased recordings from different sources (concerts, radio and TV recordings, homemade tapes) made between 1966 and 1968. It is a unique document that showcases their incredible musicianship and creativity in their early years. The duo swings from bossa nova classics like ''The Girl from Ipanema'' to the rhythm and blues of ''Fever,'' including chanson francaise standards like ''Le lendemain'' and ''La Derniere Valse.'' The album also features earlier versions of the three best-known Mateo songs performed by Diane: ''Y hoy te vi,'' ''Esa tristeza,'' and ''Mejor me voy,'' all of which were inspired by Diane. Ineditas unveils a new dimension of South American music from an unforgettable era. A1. Je suis sans toi A2. Rendez-vous d'automne A3. La derniere valse A4. Le lendemain A5.
