Roos, Jaime
Mediocampo
Mediocampo (1984), Jaime Roos's fifth album concludes an unintentional trilogy that began with Aquello (1981) and
continued with Siempre son las cuatro (1982). It is the bright side of the series, a groundbreaking album that has
become a classic, perhaps the most prestigious and well-known work of his discography.
Mediocampo is as daring and experimental as his previous two works, but with much more direct and accessible
communication, achieving an almost perfect distillation of his artistic vision. Today, many of its songs are an
essential part of Montevideo's cultural soundtrack.
DESCRIPTION
The album's sound, aligned with international trends of the 1980s, made Mediocampo the gateway to Jaime Roos's universe
for a younger audience approaching music through rock. Its proposal was unique and deeply Uruguayan, yet it incorporated
elements that resonated with a public accustomed to Anglo-Saxon pop.
The albums Aquello and Siempre son las cuatro, despite being very different works, share a focus on the Beatles-inspired
pop song structure, stylistic diversity, and a search for popular roots. Mediocampo, the conclusion of this song-driven
trilogy, is as daring and experimental as its predecessors but with much more direct and accessible communication,
achieving an almost perfect distillation of his artistic vision. Today, many of its songs are an essential part of
Montevideo's cultural soundtrack.
