Federico Aubele recently joined British Act Morcheeba on their recent US/Canada tour, performing as an acoustic duo with labelmate Natalia Clavier. The 15-date tour concluded last weekend, however more summer shows are being confirmed and will be announced shortly! Keep an eye on the tour page for the latest info and check out Brightest Young Things review of his latest D.C performance.

Hot on the heels of being nominated in the New York Post's annual "Best Of" round-up, the LA Times selected Federico's latest release, Panamericana as one of the top 5 albums of the year in addition to KCRW's Nic Harcourt (Morning Becomes Eclectic) including the release in his 2007 "Top Albums" list. Last fall, Federico was Nic's guest and performed live in his studio. Panamericana was also included in the iTunes Latino "Best of 2007" end of year list, with Federico being invited to create a celebrity iTunes playlist following soon after.

The first album single 'La Esquina' is available now on 12" Vinyl, with the sophomore 'Maria Jose' currently in production and set for a summertime release, to feature remixes from Toy Hernandez and DJ Spooky.
