Agustín Layús

Bar the fondo cultural presents:
Agustín Layús Sextet
Hacia el sur
The new album "Hacia el Sur" (To the South) by guitarist and composer Agustín Matías Layús, is presented as a work of programmatic and descriptive music. It is a visual and evocative proposal that functions almost like an incidental soundtrack, where the deep intention of each piece is to evoke the distinct moments and people that form and formed part of the author's life. Through this quest, the music projects sonic images that invite the listener to traverse these experiential landscapes.
While the aesthetic moves away from traditional jazz to explore cinematic textures, the interpretation rests on the solid foundation of musicians trained in the language of jazz, chamber music, and tango. This background of the performers endows the work with a particular sensitivity in interaction and dynamics, blending the freedom of the genre with the precision of chamber music. by Alejandro Galay Jazz Journalist
