Jimena composes and records all instruments on her albums—except for the bandoneón (which she records in Buenos Aires) and bass (by Cedric Munch in Paris). She produces her albums entirely on her own. She owns her label, MaktubRecords, and retains 100% of her master recordings and publishing rights under MaktubRecords Publishing.

Under her artist name Electro Dub Tango, Jimena Fama offers a bold fusion of expressive vocals and regional rhythms, layered with bandoneón or guitar melodies—creating a distinctive, modern take on tango.

A magical and fresh blend: A New Generation Tango... that travels the world.
