Eco

Jorge Drexler's Eco, released in 2004, is presented as a turning point in his career. This album, which arrived after the recognition with an Academy Award for "Al otro lado del río" —a song included in The Motorcycle Diaries—, consolidated his presence in Latin America and Spain as well as in broader markets. The album was mainly recorded in Uruguay, at Sondor Studios, and featured the production of Juan Campodónico, with the co-production of Carlos Casacuberta. The sound of Eco is characterized by a fusion of acoustic composition with electronic elements, where lyrical details and string arrangements take on special prominence, defining a style that would resonate strongly in his career.

About the album

Eco, according to DoReSol

Within the tracklist, songs like Deseo and Todo se transforma are clear examples of this sonic proposal. The former, for instance, explores the lyrical intimacy that characterizes Drexler's work, while Todo se transforma invites reflection on change through instrumentation that combines the organic with the synthetic. The album's later reissue, known as Eco², included the Oscar-winning song and an additional DVD, expanding the reach of this work. The album's genre moves between Latin, pop, electronica, and world music, reflecting the versatility and creative openness that Drexler demonstrated at this stage.
