Camará is the debut artist album by London based DJ and producer Ariel.

Once described by Pete Tong as "the most underrated DJ in the UK", Ariel rocked clubbing landmark Bagleys, Kings Cross for five years with his eight hour Saturday night sets, while his seven year Room 2 residency at Fabric has greatly informed his new album.

Cuba is the inspiration for Camará. From an early age the country has fascinated Ariel, who shares his home city of Rosario, Argentina with the revolutionary, Ernesto "Che" Guevara. The sensual rhythms of the Afro-Cuban Rumba can be heard, and felt, throughout Camará, the foundations of which were laid when Ariel visited Cuba for the first time. Armed with his mini-disc recorder and microphone, Ariel spent weeks hanging out with, and recording, the musicians and street life around the Vedado and Centro neighbourhoods of Havana. These unique recordings provide much of Camará's atmosphere, and live instrumentation from Ariel's fellow Latin expats Oli Savill (Da Lata), Guillermo Hill (Negrocan) and Silver City (20:20 Vision) add a further organic dimension, while studio whiz kids Alex Celler and X Green maintain the electronic essence of Ariel's trademark Latin Tech sound.

The first Argentine artist to grace the UK Top 30 Singles chart, Ariel has also released a number of mix compilations and promoted his own successful London clubs; Manteca Soho and Latinaires at Turnmills. Camará is released by MyDust, the label Ariel co-founded in 2007, which has quickly established itself as "hot", with support from a large number of the world's top DJs.
