• Dano - Nuevos Trapos (Edición en vinilo) | Apparell™
Charly García, músico argentino legendario, se fue a Nueva York en los ’80 a hacer su disco soñado. Tenía claro hasta el título, pero un grafiti en la calle lo cambió todo: Clics Modernos. A veces, las mejores ideas nacen de lo inesperado. Inspirado por el artista, Dano también llegó con un plan: un disco corto, directo, moldeado por la energía de la gran ciudad. Pero el tiempo, la vida y la creatividad hicieron lo suyo. Nuevos Trapos no pertenece a un solo lugar, sino a todos los espacios donde Dano se siente en casa: Madrid, Buenos Aires, Nueva York. Un álbum de 13 canciones que nació en la gran manzana y que también sufrió una transformación. Un disco que se llama como aquel de Charly García que nunca fue: NUEVOS TRAPOS.   Formato 12”. 180 gr. Incluye díptico. Diseños de Gon Hergueta.    Esta imagen es un mockup y puede presentar pequeñas diferencias respecto al producto final.
