"Saudades" is the debut by Melodía, the duo of Federico Durand and Tomoyoshi Date. Fede is a musician who lives in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Born in San Paulo, Brazil, where he lived until the age of three, Tomo currently resides in Tokyo, Japan. They both share a profound passion for music. They both released a solo album on Own Records in 2011 and a few months later (Spring 2012) went to Europe for a common tour where they first met and where they decided to record an album together which was mastered by their friend Stephan Mathieu.
At first I was disappointed in hearing the yes beautiful but a little over-used sound of Durand's tape style. Then this records slowly turns in something special and this collaboration between Deupree and Durand proves to bring forth magic. Ruben van den Belt
Este año se publicaron varios trabajos extraordinarios pero 'Pequeñas Melodías' cautivó mi corazón. Un proyecto sublime de inicio a fin, tanto en lo musical como en lo visual. Arte en estado puro. Es maravilloso lo que se puede llegar a lograr cuando el artista crea con amor y honestidad. Sergio Díaz De Rojas
