LP version. Following Far Out's reissue of
Agustin Pereyra Lucena Quartet
's
La Rana
(FARO 227CD, 2022), the label continues its memorialization 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. One of the outstanding South American guitarists, Agustin Pereyra Lucena commanded a unique position in Latin music history. He hailed from Buenos Aires, but was obsessed with the music of Brazil. A disciple of
Antônio Carlos Jobim
,
Baden Powell
, and
Vinicius De Moraes
, the nature of Agustin's Argentinian roots combined with the nurture of Brazil and its music to give Agustin a sound entirely his own. Agustin enlisted fellow Argentinian Brazilophiles
Mario "Mojarra" Fernandez
, who played bass, and drummer
Enrique "Zurdo" Roizner
. For vocals, Agustin brought in his old friend, a French teacher called
Helena Uriburu
, who at the time had (unbelievably) never sung in a studio before. The 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. Accompanied by Roizner's shuffling samba jazz drums, opener "O Astronauta" is Agustin's cover of the Brazilian guitar standard composed by Baden Powell. Another Baden Powell classic, "Consolacao" is an extended full-band set, which features Agustin's crisp guitar dancing around a hypnotic rhythm section. Upright 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. Agustin passed away in 2019, and it is only in recent years that he is starting to gain his plaudits as one of South America's greats.
