Solla, Emilio & Antonio Lizana
El Siempre Mar
Latin Grammy winner (2020) and 6-times Grammy nominated, Argentina born and New York based pianist and composer Emilio Solla teams up for his thirteenth album with flamenco-jazz rising star Antonio Lizana. Together they have created a highly original piece, El Siempre Mar, where old Argentine folk songs live together with original compositions from both artists. In this new take on the "cantes de ida y vuelta" (roundtrip songs), these two artists have managed to find a unique and contemporary meeting point between the music of Argentina, the south of Spain, and jazz. Here, traditional songs by foundational composers such as Atahualpa Yupanqui and Astor Piazzolla take new dimensions through the inclusion of modern harmonies and jazz improvisation.
