The argentine band released their new album, with 12 songs. The new release includes songs such as "Buscando Camorra" (where a skill in the traditional tango language is shown by the band), the fusion between tango and bossa nova in "Media Persona", etc. The cover versions picked for this album are "Englishman in New York" (Sting), "Sweet Dreams (are made of this)" (Eurhythmics), "Cantaloupe Island" (a jazz standard written and first recorded by Herbie Hancock in 1964).


 

The album title and its underlying concept are inspired in the essay of the same name ("Fear of Freedom") by the great german psychologist Erich Fromm. The idea behind the album is the notion that we are all afraid of excercising the power of making choices. We tend to leave to someone else's will the direction of our lives. Thus, in our every day existence we're limited to the few options that are given to us. We do not actually choose what we eat, what we read, what we listen to, not even our governments. In our history, this "fear to freedom", this fear to have options, created tragical political experiences that led to the nazi or fascist regimes in the 30s. Even today, we face the consequences of our collective fears, such as certain totalitarian powers, disguised as democracies.
