Frederico Aubele

By Lynne Margolis | Saturday, September 16, 2006, 02:27 PM

Another cute young guy with a mess of curly hair, Argentina’s Frederico Aubele has a pleasant voice for making sexy mood music. Like the best light, laid-back reggae-influenced music, it doesn’t require knowledge of the language — just a lack of resistance to the beat and a willingness to groove to the tropical flavor.

With a five-piece band that included a lovely female vocalist and local boy David Boyle (who works with Bebel Gilberto — and the Scabs) on keyboards, Aubele inspired some early-afternoon tangoing (with a 40-year-old tango and the set-closer “Contingo”) Saturday on the AMD stage at ACL fest. A soft breeze made it nearly perfect. A chaise lounge, a beach and a mojito would have sent it over the top.
