Celebrating three decades together, Argentinean group A.N.I.M.A.L,
one of the most iconic bands in Latin rock, has released its new album “ÍNTIMO
EXTREMO - 30 AÑOS”: fourteen of its classics in completely new
versions, recorded in collaboration with colleagues across Latin America.
“30 years of A.N.I.M.A.L is something simultaneously historic
and unexpected. Thanks to God, we’ve gotten through different situations in
our career: difficult moments and moments of glory, splits and reunions,
but A.N.I.M.A.L always stayed alive among its fans. That made us want to
celebrate these 30 years of A.N.I.M.A.L in a different way,” Andrés Giménez shares.
The guest stars are: Juanes, Enrique Bunbury, Draco Rosa,
Lali, Los Auténticos Decadentes, Andrés Calamaro, Chizzo Napoli (La
Renga), Abel Pintos, León Gieco, Ca7riel, Neo Pistea, Alejandro Lerner,
Agarrate Catalina, Lula Bertoldi (Eruca Sativa), Rubén Albarrán (Cafe
Tacvba), Alex Lora (El Tri), Roco Pachukote (Maldita
Vecindad), Santiago Cruz, Lucybell, Matamba and Alejandro Taranto.
The band’s vocalist and songwriter notes: “Íntimo Extremo
is about that, remaking 15 historic songs in that format, so that it’s the
most intimate and versatile possible, with the most striking elements that
A.N.I.M.A.L never lost and always had; and, at the same time, so that it’s
the band’s most extreme, with that heaviness that always defined us. On
this album we were able to combine both.”
For this project, A.N.I.M.A.L was formed by: Andrés Giménez
(vocals and guitars), Marcelo Castro (drums and percussion), Cristian
Lapolla (bass and vocals) and Osko Cariola (programming and keyboards).
The album, artistically produced by Giménez and Cariola, comes
preceded by the single “Solo por ser indios” with the Colombian
artist Juanes. A powerful version that was released with a
3D-animated music video of the highest quality in its film production, with
carefully added details in the modeling of the characters and other visual
elements that form the setting.
