{"product_id":"agustin-pereyra-lucena","title":"Agustin Pereyra Lucena","description":"\u003cp\u003eFollowing Far Out's reissue of \u003cem\u003eAgustin Pereyra Lucena Quartet's La Rana\u003c\/em\u003e, the label continues its memorialisation of the late, great Argentinian guitarist's music, with the first ever direct from tape, audiophile reissue of Pereyra Lucena's self-titled debut album from 1970.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgustin Pereyra Lucena\u003c\/strong\u003e hailed from Buenos Aires, but was obsessed with the music of Brazil. A disciple of \u003cstrong\u003eAntonio Carlos Jobim\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBaden Powell\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eVinicius De Moraes\u003c\/strong\u003e, the nature of Agustin's Argentinian roots combined with the nurture of Brazil and its music to give Agustin a sound entirely his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter being scouted in a nightclub by musician and guitar craftsman \u003cstrong\u003eJorge Demonte\u003c\/strong\u003e, Agustin was invited for an audition at Argenitinian label Tonodisc. Before he knew it, aged 22, he was in the studio recording his first album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAgustin enlisted fellow Argentinian Brazilophiles \u003cstrong\u003eMario \"Mojarra\" Fernandez\u003c\/strong\u003e who played bass and drummer \u003cstrong\u003eEnrique \"Zurdo\" Roizner\u003c\/strong\u003e. For vocals, Agustin brought in his old friend, a French teacher called \u003cstrong\u003eHelena Uriburu\u003c\/strong\u003e, who at the time had never sung in a studio before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe atypical bossas and spiritual swinging sambas, composed by many of Agustin's aforementioned heroes, were elevated to new heights by Agustin's dazzling arrangements and phenomenal guitar playing. The almost cosmic reaches Agustin achieved with his sound are balanced against the stylish sophistication and breezy nature of the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMoments of calm serenity include Agustin's own composition \"\u003cem\u003eNina No Divagues\u003c\/em\u003e\", \u003cem\u003eDurval Ferreira and Pedro Camargo's \"Chuva\"\u003c\/em\u003e and the Brazilian bossa classic \"\u003cem\u003eTristeza Nos Dois\u003c\/em\u003e\", which feels like it draws equally upon exotica and early library records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccompanied by Roizner's shuffling samba jazz drums, opener \"\u003cem\u003eO Astronauta\u003c\/em\u003e\" is Agustin's cover of the Brazilian guitar standard composed by \u003cstrong\u003eBaden Powell\u003c\/strong\u003e. Another \u003cstrong\u003eBaden Powell\u003c\/strong\u003e classic, \"\u003cem\u003eConsolacao\u003c\/em\u003e\", is an extended full-band set, which features Agustin's crisp guitar dancing around a hypnotic rhythm section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUpright bass is swapped out for a big, round-sounding electric one, which sits loud in the mix for almost seven minutes of deep, groovy, distinctively early-seventies magic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far Out Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Black LP.","offer_id":50399320768843,"sku":"2174783","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD.","offer_id":50399319818571,"sku":"2174782","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_ec829059_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728295928","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/agustin-pereyra-lucena","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
