Album lore

SPLENDIDO SPLENDENTE arrives from Santicuado.Q on Denmark’s 5358533 Records, issued November 2024. This six-track artifact navigates the intersections of Argentina’s musical textures and abstract hip hop, notably eschewing drums throughout, which leaves space for the fluid cadences of jazz rap to emerge with unusual clarity. The featured track "CALLMEBYNADIE" exemplifies the album’s sparse yet intricate approach, laying bare the interplay of rhythm and voice without conventional percussion.The record’s modest footprint—under 20,000 Last.fm scrobbles—belies its subtle command of form, positioning it as a discreet node in the broader lineage of drumless hip hop experiments. Santicuado.Q’s work here is less about imposing a narrative than offering a nuanced signal for crate-diggers attuned to the margins between jazz-inflected rap and Argentine sonic idioms. SPLENDIDO SPLENDENTE rewards attentive listening, revealing its contours with each play.
