Agustin Pereyra Lucena - Agustin Pereyra Lucena

Following Far Out's reissue of Agustin Pereyra Lucena Quartet's La Rana,
the label continues its memorialisation of the late, great Argentinian
guitarist's music, with the frst 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 Antonio 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.
After being scouted in a nightclub, by musician and guitar craftsman Jorge
Demonte, Agustin was invited for an audition at Argenitinian label Tonodisc.
Before he knew it, aged 22, he was in the studio recording his frst album.
