Agustin Pereyra Lucena

Following Far Out’s reissue of Agustin Pereyra Lucena Quartet’s La Rana, 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, Argentinian 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. This is the first ever direct from tape, audiophile reissue of Pereyra Lucena’s self-titled debut album from 1970.
