****
AciDa
Formed in late 1999 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with influences as
diverse as Electronica, Rock, Tango, Jazz, Drum n Bass, Film scores
and Bossanova. Their sophisticated and beautifully written songs
caught the ears of record producer and head honcho of Sonic360, Chris
Allison (Producer for Coldplay, Kinky, Plastilina Mosh, The Beta
Band), who quickly signed them to his Sonic 360 label in 2000. Their
songs reach out to a wide demographic, being catchy and stimulating
enough to get people onto the dance floor, yet still maintaining the
characteristic Argentinean melancholy that pulsates through the core
of their lyrical and melodic brilliance.
ACIDA's debut album "La Vida Real", to be released early 2003,
features some prominent stars of the Argentinean music world - all
either close friends or relations, and all expressing a clear desire
to collaborate with the couple on their album. Gustavo Cerati (Soda
Stereo), sings and plays guitar and bass on various songs on the
album. Alina's father, classical composer and Music Director of the
Buenos Aires Philharmonic Orchestra, Gerado Gandini, plays piano on
the song "Yo Nunca Te Doy Paz", Dante Spinetta (of llya Kuryaki and
the Valderramas) plaArgentiniann the single "La Vida Real". Other
collaborators include Emanuel Cauvet, Capri and Hana Miya and the
Hindu Collective. In late 2002, Rick Deliz (Satelite, The MiGs) on
guitar/bass and Argel Cota (Niño Astronauta) on drums, joined the
band for Acida's live performances.
