Info:

I Think I Have Never Met Anybody, With The Exception Of Brazilian Guitarists Baden Powell And Toquinho, As Connected To His Instrument As Agustín Pereyra Lucena – Vinicius De Moraes The Words By Bossa Novas Seminal Poet Vinicius Seem Fit As A Good Introduction To Agustín Pereyra Lucena, The Undisputed Ambassador Of Brazilian Music In Argentina, And A Revered Guitarist Since His Early Years. Pereyra Lucena Became Fascinated By Brazilian Music During The Years Of Bossa Nova, A Sound That Would Define His Career Despite His Later Incursions In Jazz And French Impressionism. This Passion Led Him To Drop His Architecture Studies And Become A Full Time Musician, Forging His Own Sound, Befriending Vinicius And Toquinho And Sharing Stage With Many Of Brazil’s Greatest Musicians. Released In Argentina As Ese Dia Va A Llegar In 1975, And The Following Year In Europe As Brasiliana, This Was Pereyra Lucenas Fourth Album. A Tasteful Blend Of Covers And Original Compositions, The Result Is A Thrilling Bossa Jazz Album With A Character Of Its Own, And Which Also Served As The Starting Point Of Guillermo Reuters Career, Who Would Shortly After Start His Project Candeias, With Agustín Pereyra Lucena On Guitar.
