Eduardo Mateo and Fernando Cabrera come together to offer a cycle of live music, where both authors interpret their creations in a special way. They achieve remakes of songs that from this encounter become anthems of Uruguayan music such as "Por ejemplo," an essential piece of Uruguayan music of all times. Recorded live and released in 1987 in Montevideo, Uruguay, this album is the most professional record of the duo that Eduardo Mateo and Fernando Cabrera formed for a period of a few months. These two great composers, performers and arrangers from different generations, premiered with the duo several beautiful new songs, in addition to concocting together renewed versions of some of the classic tunes from each one's repertoire. It is an intimate and acoustic work. Fernando Cabrera's guitar appears many times backed by the tasty and peculiar percussion of Eduardo Mateo, and there are also grooves with precious arrangements of two guitars. The duo of Mateo and Cabrera was a milestone for the careers of both.

Mediocampo (1984), Jaime Roos's fifth album concludes an unintentional trilogy that began with Aquello (1981) and continued with Siempre son las cuatro (1982). It is the bright side of the series, a groundbreaking album that has become a classic, perhaps the most prestigious and well-known work of his discography. Mediocampo is as daring and experimental as his previous two works, but with much more direct and accessible communication, achieving an almost perfect distillation of his artistic vision. Today, many of its songs are an essential part of Montevideo's cultural soundtrack. The album's sound, aligned with international trends of the 1980s, made Mediocampo the gateway to Jaime Roos's universe for a younger audience approaching music through rock. Its proposal was unique and deeply Uruguayan, yet it incorporated elements that resonated with a public accustomed to Anglo-Saxon pop. The albums Aquello and Siempre son las cuatro, despite being very different works, share a focus on the Beatles-inspired pop song structure, stylistic diversity, and a search for popular roots.

Tango Que Me Hiciste Mal... is the sought-after first album by the Uruguayan rock band Los Estómagos. It was one of the main groups in the post-dictatorship Uruguayan rock scene. This album broke all the molds and it is considered to be a cult record, an indispensable experimental album to understand everything that came after in the continent. Los Estómagos' debut album, released in Uruguay in 1985, is a very personal take on post-punk and darkwave. Exuding teenage angst, Tango Que Me Hiciste Mal... has ties with the sound of bands like Joy Division, Soft Cell or Bauhaus, but shows a unique personality and an unmistakable South American touch. 180 gram vinyl; includes booklet.
