Description:

Carlos Aguirre's first full-length album as a solo artist in seven years, since "Orizhanía" released in 2012. This album is the culmination of his recent activities, featuring delicate and beautiful piano narrations of people's lives, overlapping stories, and magnificent natural scenes surrounding the "river" that is the source of his creativity. Carlos Aguirre looks at the scenes woven by nature and people with a tender and loving eye, and depicts them with beautiful melodies. In his recent solo activities, he has been working on the project "La Música del Agua: Music of Water," which has finally come to fruition as an album. All of the songs on this album are rooted in the people who have lived in the La Plata River basin, their culture, and the magnificent nature that has surrounded them, and are composed by the great predecessors of his countrymen and the best musicians of his generation. While preserving the lyrical and sometimes pastoral nature of these compositions, Aguirre gives them new life with piano accompaniment and gentle singing that is as soft as the wind, as shimmering as the light, and as clear as the water.The Japanese edition is a double booklet version that faithfully reproduces the original artwork, but also includes the original lyrics, commentary by Aguirre and bilingual translation of each song commentary and liner notes. All the beautiful paintings from the jacket to the booklet are by Pamela Villaraça, a female artist who created a series of hand-painted pictures including Carlos Aguirre Grupo's masterpiece "Crema". The colorful artwork is a must-see, evocative of the gems created by predecessors in various regions with the majestic La Plata River as the source of creation and passed on to contemporary musicians, as well as the diverse life that is repeated under the blessings of the great river.
