Comments on his work:

“If Schellemberg has reached a position of popularity and prestige, it’s not just because he integrates within a certain ‘area’ (instrumental, Pop, Candombe, Rock and Jazz), but because he states, in that line, an increasingly clear personality. Jorge has things to say and furthermore, he says them very well. The first thing to draw attention is his voice: privileged, powerful, clean, corpulent, reprocessing and updating the emission established years back by Rada and Urbano (...) His stuff are songs competently arranged, the solos scattered ventilating where necessary, a structure where the main point is the composition (...) its sweetness, its tenderness, a music without edges (...) A colour that smells of sea, sun, breeze and light.

I think that this explains the significant role that Jorge Schellemberg’s music has taken in the montevidean musical scene, and these are the reasons why I like his songs.” Guillherme De Alencar Pinto


“Bailando la Rambla (...) is doubly recommendable, in terms of its musical interest, its amenity and good humor, as of undeniable technical virtues that, luckily, are becoming frequent in national music.” Elbio Rodríguez Barilari


“Schellemberg is at large: Al palo. This is how the best record that Jorge Schellemberg has made in his career is called, the Cd , an amazing mosaic of voices, textures and rithms. In the last decade Schellemberg has been researching the Candombe in all its possible diversity. This exploration, trough all the historical thickness that the black style carries, he has carried out with extreme respect (...) In Al palo, Schellemberg plays without bonds. He accomplishes an admirable synchretism of sound and exhibits a conceptual assurance like never before. Without losing the sensibility of artistic tutor that has distinguished him, he accomplishes a modern work, with great commercial potential. (...) Brilliant record. Schellemberg, who in Al palo took charge of the artistic production, the musical direction, the arrangements and sings as soloist in four of the 10 themes, defines his work as “a record spiritually very high”. It’s a radical change in Schellemberg. The recording, sometimes even with a feast climate, is listened to with a smile that generates by request of the thankful soul. “Many hopes are reborn with each song”, says one of the brand new compositions. Listening to it, the wheel of life rotates fluently. In times of cobbled paths, it’s a real blessing.” Alejandro Espina.
