Agustin Pereyra Lucena

Agustín Pereyra Lucena – “Puertos De Alternativa” (Far Out Recordings, FAR0250LP). A graceful meeting of Argentine guitar poetry and Brazilian currents, this album sails through milonga shadows, chamber‑jazz intimacy and bossa‑tinted cadence. Lucena’s nylon‑string touch is feather‑light but harmonically deep; each piece unfurls like a watercolor—arpeggios, subtle counter‑melodies, and quietly adventurous voicings. The repertoire nods to South American folklore and to the Rio school’s sophisticated swing, with understated percussion and woodwinds adding air and movement. Far Out’s edition restores the album’s hushed dynamics and spatial bloom, placing you in the room with the players. A must for fans of Egberto Gismonti, Baden Powell and anyone who hears the Atlantic as a musical passageway rather than a border.
