NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Nacional Records) - Fidel Was A Founding Member And Frontman For Legendary Argentine Rasta Punk Rockers Todos Tus Muertos.

Nacional Records has just released the new album 'Crucial Cuts' from Latin reggae icon Fidel Nadal. Fidel was a founding member and frontman for legendary Argentine rasta punk rockers Todos Tus Muertos. Todos Tus Muertos' influence has crossed genres and worlds including bands like the Foo Fighters and Rage Against the Machine. In 1994, Fidel also joined Manu Chao and his band Mano Negra to record the classic album 'Casa Babylon' and hit the road for a groundbreaking tour across Latin America.

Since leaving Todos Tus Muertos to go solo in 2000, Fidel has been known for his prolific nature, releasing more than 15 albums and collaborating with revered reggae masters around the globe. 'Crucial Cuts' features select tracks from across Fidel's solo career. His signature sound fuses reggae, dancehall and sound-system beats along with a contagious lyrical flow and vocal textures. Special guests on 'Crucial Cuts' include vocalist Mykal Rose (Black Uhuru), cumbia villera icon Pablo Lescano (Damas Gratis), saxophonist Sergio Rotman (Los Fabulosos Cadillacs) and Jamaican trombone king Rico Rodriguez.

Growing up, the Nadal household always had music playing in the background - and it was loud. Fidel's father was a jazz connoisseur and as a result, his childhood was spent immersed in the songs of classics like John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong and Otis Redding. But Fidel's first musical love was The Beatles. "I owned their entire discography even though I did not know how to even read or write English," he explains. "I had memorized all the lyrics - phonetically that is."

Fidel is a fifth-generation Argentine and descendent of Angolan slaves. He is a unique player in an Argentine society, which, despite the popularity of reggae music, sees itself as almost exclusively European. When Fidel first came across a record by Bob Marley, he knew he had found his true calling. Marley led him to Jamaica, the Rastafarian movement and his own personal connection to Africa.

"I identified with Marley because of his, and my, race but, above all, I identified with the rebel," Fidel says. "When you listen to Bob Marley, you realize that it is not just simply songs. There is something there that is much bigger. Reggae is a universal movement."
