Contramano is what happens when Argentine angst meets New York City attitude. Built on the driving rhythms of an electric cello, accordion, bass and drums, Contramano's sound blends punk rock, chamber, world, and electronic music.
Socially conscious lyrics with an existential bent-in Spanish and English-create a patois for the new global gypsy.
The live shows make a club feel like a stadium, with video displays, a singer prone to roaming the room and audience members taking a turn on his cello and guitar.
Originally formed in 2003, Contramano has released two cd's, Contramano (2005) and Unsatisfecho (2007). They have shared a stage with Rasputina, Si*Se, and Bajofondo Tango Club, as well as toured the eastern United States, Canada, California, and Argentina. Every step of the way, Contramano has received rave reviews from The Washington Post, New York Press, New York Times, Billboard en Espanol, El Diario, HOY, Flavorpill, Sixeyes, Fluxblog, Buzzaw Haircut and many, many other esteemed publications as well as TV show such as Fuse TV, ABC and Univision. After winning the Myspace Latino NYC showcase in 2008
the boys of Contramano headed to Argentina to play packed houses.
They continue to work on a new album slated for a summer 09 release as well as play in NYC and the surrounding area.
