Sandra Rehder and Gustavo Battaglia have worked together for more than seven years. This tango duo has developed spontaneously and naturally, as all genuine partnerships do. The result is formidable. “When I sing accompanied by Gustavo’s guitar, I feel that I leave my body and am only the song. We go to a far-off land where there sometimes appears el duende”, recounts Rehder. One can see it on the stage. There are tangos that have developed over years until they are part of the duo, they deserve to be acknowledged.
The proposition contains strong themes, with stories that tell of pain, of death (another kind of absence) and of love, something which touches all of us equally. Those of us who know Sandra Rehder, know that she sings neither to disturb nor to trifle with anybody. Her interpretations are deep and visceral, and although the subject matters talk of absence or lack of affection, they are a celebration of life, a song of plenitude. Sometimes a caress, and at another a tearing wind.
To round off the idea, Rehder is categorical: “I have never been a “standard” singer, always, as in my personal life, I make choices without restraint. So the selection of what I interpret affirms itself so that my song gathers its significance because I am moved, or touches me. And many times I take it to the limit.
Umbrales is a straightforward homage to those instants where art allows us to experience - albeit fleetingly - the greatness of living and the mystery of love. Because in reality the only thing that is important is this: the love we experience ourselves, No?”.
Surely: Yes!
