Jorge Drexler aka "The Guy Who Sang His Acceptance When He Won the Oscar for Best Song" has an album out now

This isn't his first album. He's had at least one other one called "Sea." I think it even had the track he won for on it. It might just be another one about rivers.

Sorry if the the thread title implied such. Shoulda read "has a new album..."

Ben Ratliff praises it in the Sunday NY Times.

According to AMG he's got at least seven out. I found Eco on Slsk a while back, after watching the end of The Motorcycle Diaries and needing to know which track that was. Which album are they saying is out now? Not Eco?

Jorge Drexler

A deeply talented Uruguayan singer-songwriter in his early 40's, Mr. Drexler writes songs that are contained by craft but pull toward longing. He became better known after his song "Al Otro Lado Del Río" ("The Other Side of the River") appeared on the "Motorcycle Diaries" soundtrack and won an the Academy Award this year. His seventh album, "Eco," which includes that beautiful song, brings some Brazilians to mind. He sings with Caetano Veloso's alto and soft-voiced control, and the record also bears the influence of the singer-songwriter Lenine. The light acoustic funk of Mr. Drexler's band has been carefully cropped and chopped through subtle electronic postproduction. All that and excellent lyrics, too, for Spanish readers: the lines fold into one another so that you must consider the whole song at a run. Like this, an approximate translation from "Todo Se Transforma" ("Everything Is Changed") : "Your kiss became heat / After heat, movement, / Then a drop of sweat / Which became steam, then wind / That in a little corner of La Rioja / Moved the vane of the windmill / While trampled was the wine / which was drunk by your red mouth."
