Campo self define as "subtropical music" which has influences in neighborhood sounds from Argentina and Uruguay, British indie pop, electro, rock, and tango. They seamlessly blend songs in English with songs written primarily or entirely in Spanish. Their music has many layers that hint to the genres and sounds that have influenced them and made their music so diverse. Some songs have a more EDM-esque feel while others feel like just another pop song. Their lyrics are somewhat uncomplicated and don't seem meaningful at first listen. Their current album (link posted below) definitely deserves a listen. It is called " Remixes & Rarezas" and shows their mastery of blending previously uninvolved genres. Campodonico, the frontman of the band who was previously involved with the band Bajofondo, says, “It’s not a second album of new material but more of an extension of the previous album." They are truly a musical feat that cannot be overlooked and I hope you are able to listen and enjoy them as much as I have.
