*ACIDA is the musical partnership of two of Argentina?s most talented artists in the field of Latin Pop. Singer-songwriter Alina Gandini began her quest to conquer the ears of the world back in 1999, with the help of Tweety Gonzalez (famous throughout Latin America as the keyboardist with superstar band Soda Stereo during the eighties and early nineties). The influence of Tweety on the music they initially made was so strong that he was bound to become part of the performing act, and ACIDA was born.
*With influences as diverse as Tango, Jazz, Drum n Bass, Film scores, Bossanova, and Rock music, their incredibly sophisticated and beautifully written songs caught the ears of record producer & head honcho of Sonic360, Chris Allison, who quickly signed them to his Sombrero label in 2000. Their songs reach out to a wide demographic, being catchy and stimulating enough to get people onto the dancefloor, 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? features some prominent stars of the Argentinean music world. Gustavo Cerati ? arguably the most famous producer and songwriter in Latin America, sings and plays guitar and bass on various songs on the album. Gerardo Gandini, classical composer and Music Director of the Buenos Aires Philharmonic Orchestra, plays piano on the song ?Yo Nunca Te Doy Paz?. Dante Spinetta ? from Argentina?s most famous rock band Illya Kuryaki & The Valderramas - plays a guitar solo in the title track and single ?La Vida Real?.
*Produced and mixed by UK?s Chris Allison (Kinky, The Beta Band, Coldplay), the album will be released in the UK in 2003.
