Born and raised in Buenos Aires, he started playing music at 12, with his early musical influences coming from his mother, an amateur guitarist and a notary by profession. He moved to Berlin in 2001 during the Argentine economic crisis, where he lived for several years. After submitting a demo via email to Thievery Corporation's Eighteenth Street Lounge Music, he was signed quickly to the label and in 2003 released his debut album Gran Hotel Buenos Aires , produced by Thievery Corporation. In 2006, he played at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. His song "Esta Noche" was featured in the 5th season of the TV series Alias. After Berlin, he moved to Barcelona where he began working on his next album, Panamericana, which was released on September 18, 2007, also produced by Thievery Corporation.
He now lives in Barcelona, Spain and he frequently returns to Buenos Aires.
La Esquina
Federico Aubele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Los recuerdos del ayer
Asimilándolos pasar y volver
Esos recuerdos del ayer
A través de la esencia
De mil jazmines se filtra todo tu calor
Los pétalos de tus labios
Apagar su sed
Noche de verano en la esquina del Belgrano
Navegando a la deriva hasta el amanecer
Sembrando melodías en la noche infinita
Lo llevo bien guardado ya lo sé
Y los años van sin poder soltar
Los recuerdos del ayer
Asimilándolos pasar y volver
Esos recuerdos del ayer
Las vidrieras han cambiado
Y sin embargo yo aun te pienso casi sin querer
Y soy actor y espectador
En mi memoria, yo te siento respirar
Noche de verano en la esquina del Belgrano
Navegando a la deriva hasta el amanecer
Sembrando melodías en la noche infinita
Lo llevo bien guardado ya lo sé
Y los años van sin poder soltar
Los recuerdos del ayer
Asimilándolos pasar y volver
Esos recuerdos del ayer
Noche de verano en la esquina del Belgrano
Navegando a la deriva hasta el amanecer
Sembrando melodías en la noche infinita
Lo llevo bien guardado ya lo sé
The lyrics to Federico Aubele's song La Esquina explore the idea of holding on to memories, particularly those from the past. The opening lines suggest that the passage of time has not lessened the impact of these memories, as the singer seems unable to let go of them. As the song continues, Aubele's lyrics center around the idea that memories can be triggered by sensory experiences, such as the scent of jasmines or the touch of someone's lips. The singer seems to be caught between the past and the present, acknowledging that things have changed (such as the storefronts), but still finds themselves thinking of someone they used to know.

And years go passing by, unable to let go memories of yesterday.
I'm here, watching them go and come back to those memories from yesterday.
Through the essence of one thousand jasmine all your warmth is filtered.
The petals of your lips on mine want to end with their thirst.
Summer nights, on Belgrano(street or avenue) corner.
drifting until dawn
Sowing(planting) melodies in the endless night
I carry it well kept
already know
And years go passing by, unable to let go memories of yesterday
The shop windows have changed but I still think about you, almost by accident
and I'm the actor and spectator
in my memory I feel you breathe.
