Love at First Listen: Federico Aubele

topstopaubele.jpg THIEVERY CORPORATION has a record label appropriately titled Eighteenth Street Lounge Music, and when they received a demo from a young Argentine singer name Federico Aubele, they signed him immediately.

Why, you ask? Was it his ethereal guitar-playing (check out it here in his song "Easta Noche")? Was it his romantic vocals? Was it his giant head of hair (a Latin-fro, if you will)? Was it his uncanny ability to incorporate genre after genre into his sound, including reggae, hip-hop, tango and bolero ("Postales" is a great example). Whatever it was, it hooked them — and now the world is growing enthusiastic as well.

See him at the 9:30 Club tonight with Dawn Landes and Natalia Clavier.

» 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW; Tue., Sept. 2, 7 p.m, $15; 202-265-0970. (U St.-Cardozo)
