Info zu Todos los Fuegos

Award-winning Argentine jazz vocalist Roxana Amed unveils her latest album, Todos Los Fuegos, a striking reinterpretation of Argentine rock classics infused with jazz improvisation and contemporary sound design. Featuring an all-star lineup, the album explores works by legendary musicians Charly García, Luis Alberto Spinetta, Fito Páez, and Gustavo Cerati, bridging Argentina’s rich rock heritage with Amed’s unique modern jazz vocals.

Amed, known for her genre-defying originality and sensual contralto, has long been celebrated for her ability to blend Argentine folk, rock, and classical influences with contemporary jazz. With Todos Los Fuegos, she embarks on a new challenge—curating a selection of iconic songs that broke barriers, reinventing them through jazz-tinged arrangements.

“These songs were groundbreaking in their time, bending the rules of harmony, melody, and poetry in a way that changed Latin American music forever,” says Amed. “My goal was to honor their essence while creating a new language that speaks to both jazz and rock audiences alike.”

Amed’s vision comes to life with the help of celebrated pianist, arranger, and fellow Argentine Leo Genovese, who serves as a key collaborator on the project. Together, they craft a dynamic musical landscape. The album also features Tim Lefebvre(David Bowie’s Blackstar, Tedeschi Trucks Band) on electric bass, Kenny Wollesen (John Zorn, Bill Frisell) on drums, and Mark Small (Michael Bublé, Darcy James Argue) on saxophones and clarinet.

The album’s tracklist reads like a love letter to Argentine rock’s golden age, featuring reinterpretations of classics such as “Cinema Verité” and “Salir de la Melancolía” by Serú Girán, “Ciudad de Pobres Corazones” by Fito Páez, and “Corazón Delator” by Soda Stereo. Amed also includes an original composition, “Diamonds,” co-written with Genovese, further solidifying her voice as both an interpreter and a creator within this unique musical space.

Each track showcases the fusion of genres that define Amed’s artistry. The haunting “Verbo Carne” by Cerati takes on a dreamlike, avant-garde atmosphere with intricate wind arrangements by Small, while “Ciudad de Pobres Corazones” by Páez transforms into a rhythmic powerhouse with the addition of percussionist Samuel Torres. The iconic “Corazón Delator” is reimagined twice—once as an electrified jazz-rock anthem featuring Aaron Lebos on guitar, and again as an alternate take with a more ethereal approach.

“The challenge was to find new spaces within these songs while keeping their emotional weight intact,” Amed explains. “Rock and jazz have always had a deep connection—both born from rebellion, innovation, and the desire to push boundaries. This album is my way of celebrating that.”

Amed’s previous works have garnered critical acclaim. Latin Jazz Network described her 2024 album Becoming Human as “magnificent,” highlighting her “hypnotic contralto” and noting that the music “seems to explode from the nuclear corona of the sun.” AllMusicpraised the same album, stating that Amed “envelopes you in a warm, poetic atmosphere.” Additionally, All About Jazz recognized her 2023 release Los Trabajos Y Las Noches as “among the best jazz vocal recordings of the year.”

"With Todos Los Fuegos, Roxana Amed cements her status as an artist unafraid to explore, innovate, and redefine musical boundaries. This album is not just a tribute to Argentine rock—it is a reinvention, a bridge between past and future, and a bold statement from one of Latin America’s most compelling jazz voices."
