Helado Negro Essentials

Helado Negro Essentials

The Miami-born son of Ecuadorian parents, Helado Negro's Roberto Carlos Lange is as comfortable with electronic production as he is with a guitar in his hand, or singing behind an orchestral arrangement. Since 2009, his steady stream of releases has represented Lange's ongoing exploration of his identity in a way that both inspires and heals. The bilingual, Tropicália-tinged beauty of his gentle vibrato is like a warm embrace, and with songs like “Pais Nublado” and “Young, Latin and Proud,” Brooklyn-based Lange masterfully layers together languages and musical idioms to make sense of his experience as an experimental Latino musician in America.
