Eco is the seventh studio album by Uruguayan singer-songwriter Jorge Drexler, released in 2004 by Warner Music Spain. The album continues the incorporation of acoustic songwriting with electronic elements and features an emphasis on lyrical detail and string arrangements. Eco is frequently cited as a pivotal work in Drexler's career, contributing to his growing recognition in Latin America, Spain, and international markets.
The album was primarily recorded in Uruguay at Sondor Studios and produced by Juan Campodónico, with co-production by Carlos Casacuberta.
Following Drexler's Academy Award win for "Al otro lado del río", a song included in the film The Motorcycle Diaries, the album was reissued as Eco², featuring the Oscar-winning track and an accompanying bonus DVD.
