indie-only yellow vinyl version - Gabriel Garzón-Montano is no stranger to creating music that defies classification. His first two albums, Bishouné: Alma del Huila and Jardín cemented his status as a neo-soul and R&B artist unafraid to incorporate lifelong musical influences like cumbia, hip-hop, and French classical music into his compositions. These influences made for a cinematic sound all his own, a vehicle for Garzón-Montano to put the vulnerable tenderness of his voice and his lyrics on display. His latest record, Agüita, reveals a new, playful, and experimental side to Garzón-Montano; where seemingly dissonant classical piano melodies and strings pave the way for Latin trap and reggaeton-flavored bangers meant to ignite the dancefloor. In an album where stark sonic contrasts reign at every turn, it is Garzón-Montano’s soulful approach that makes this album a must listen.
