Trelew
Trelew formed in 2005 when vocalist Karen Ann and guitarist Jorge Galemire met in Uruguay. The band is notable for featuring Galemire, understood to be one of the most important guitarist in Uruguay's Candombe Beat movement. He has featured on albums by Fernando Cabrera, Jaime Roos and Jorge Drexler, as well as many seminal Uruguayan albums from the late-1970s. Their mixture of lead singer Karen Ann's stories of her Welsh heritage with a rioplatense (the all-encompassing name for music originating either side of the Río de la Plata) sound have led to recognition both in Uruguay and abroad.
Background
After performing a number of shows in Uruguay, and then Argentina, Trelew released their debut album, Trelew in 2009. By this point the group had grown to include Nicolas Mora on bandoleon and Ana de Leon on percussion. De Leon was already well known in Uruguay at this point after featuring in the band La Dulce and in the candombe drumming group La Melaza. Release of the record led to being featured in Uruguay newspapers such as Brecha, La Diaria and El Observador, as well as on BBC Radio Wales. In May 2009 they performed in Montevideo's historic Teatro Solís. He died in 2015, aged 64.
