Like the espuma\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ede mar, the sea foam that gives the album its name, this music has a fleeting quality, it arrives,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eimperfectly, and never stops transforming; it replenishes, it diminishes, it breathes.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe biggest difference between this album and Rivaldo’s previous works is the increased tension,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eand the sense of space; whereas beats and sequencers, as per their design, propel constant rhythm,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehere every note has intent, only played if necessary to the composition. This is felt on “Llegada”, a\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eminimal groove soothed by kalimba thumb piano and fidgety synths while layers of trumpet take\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethe lead until a surprisingly sombre piano motif brings the song to a close. The title track has a\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esimilar feel, whereby the music sounds improvised, each instrument free to roam, yet each note hits\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eyou in the stomach; here, we get an ominous opener, spare notes of trumpet, charango, snare drum\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eand heavily-reverbed piano taking their turn until a rhythm begins to develop, albeit a rhythm that\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003erefuses to retain its form, flutes, synths, bass and detached vocals all playing their part as the song\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003erefuses to stand still.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRivaldo has stated that it was the sounds of German-Senegalese group Mark Ernestus' Ndagga\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRhythm Force and the UK-based project Hidden Orchestra that had the biggest impact on the\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ealbum’s sound, and it is certainly possible to see the affect of the latter in the mixture of field\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003erecordings and percussive symphonic jazz. For this record, Rivaldo has worked with a small\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eensemble of Nicolás Lapíne on trumpet, Ignus and drums and Federico Estévez on percussion, as\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ewell as invitees such as flautist Mariana Iturri and violinist Alex Musatov. With Rivaldo himself\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eadding guitar, synth, bass and piano, the effect is of a modern chamber orchestra and the drama that\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecan bring. Opening track “Seguí” is a great example with its crashing piano chords and pulsating\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eviolin, and there’s no denying the euphoria of a track like “Oasis”, whose woozy trumpets can’t\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehelp but recall prime Beirut.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut there’s a reason Rivaldo is thought of so highly within the folktronica scene, and it’s for his\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eattention to detail. No two tracks on the album are the same, it goes from the percussion-heavy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“Migrante”, whose breakbeat and jerky synths show a love for hip-hop and 80s funk, to a beguiling\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etrack like “Azufre” that has a vaguely-Caribbean cadence until a tenor sax solo from Camila Nebbia\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003etakes it into more overtly-jazz territory. Then there’s a track like “Periferia” whose use of close-\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003emic’d percussion makes it feel like the speaker is literally shaking with rhythm, alongside “Tac Tac\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTac” that is full of warm, reverberant bass notes, albeit offset by hand claps and the only-discernible\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003evocal on the album. With this in mind, it should be no surprise that Rivaldo is also a luthier, using\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esome of the instruments he’s created on the album; there is a meticulous mind at work.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEspuma de Mar is that rare beast, an example of an artist reinventing themselves, yet somehow\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esounding completely like they’ve always sounded.
