The seventies saw success with his group Candeias, and he gained recognition in Brazil, forming friendships and collaborations with luminaries such as Vinicius de Moraes, Baden Powell, Dorival Caymmi, Toquinho, and Maria Bethania.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the era of dictatorship in South America, Agustin spent the late seventies and early eighties living and touring in Norway as part of his European travels with his group Agustin Pereyra Lucena quartet. Recorded after returning to his native Buenos Aires, \u003cem\u003ePuertos de Alternativa\u003c\/em\u003e emerged from this confluence of diverse experiences and influences, revealing an artist deeply connected to his environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album's title, meaning \"Alternative Harbours,\" reflects Agustin's particular affinity for water. He observed that much of his favourite music originated from places with rivers and seas nearby, noting, \"There is a flow near water that influences guitar playing for sure.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a profound connection to both instrument and environment, Agustin's music is often difficult to place. The album begins rooted deeply in South American soil, drawing clear inspiration from Brazilian guitar masters like Heitor Villa Lobos, Garoto, and Baden Powell. But, as it progresses, a sense of journey unfolds, evoking new landscapes and horizons - from the crystalline beauty of glacial Norway to the gentle currents of the Rio de la Plata.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ensemble on \u003cem\u003ePuertos de Alternativa\u003c\/em\u003e features notable Argentinian musicians, including drummer Osvaldo Avena, flautist Ruben Izarrualde, and saxophonist Bernardo Baraj. Mastered by Stuart Hawkes at Metropolis Studios from the original master tapes which had been lovingly kept by Agustin's nephew Jose Lucena Perreyra.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far Out Recordings","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":51964542189899,"sku":"R7826-5418","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51964542222667,"sku":"R7826-6711","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2000x2000bb_72ecdd0b-da65-4fa2-becf-59b1ed7a00a3.jpg?v=1749132575","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/puertos-de-alternativa","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
