Ensamble Kuai - Soledades Permanentes (KUAI MUSIC 2018)

This record pays tribute to the great composer Jorge López Ruíz and is based on his album “Bronca Buenos Aires” (1969). Jazmín Prodan, Andrés Elstein, Damien Poots and Juan Bayón have written it collaboratively. Each movement of “Soledades Permanentes” is a very intimate reinterpretation of López Ruíz’s pieces, and though these four young composers pay respect to the mood of its original release, the sound and spirit of Kuai Music is still there. Produced and coordinated by Juan Bayón.
