Navidad De Los Andes

A very special debut recording of a new trio – Argentinean bandoneon master Dino Saluzzi, German cellist Anja Lechner and Dino’s saxophonist brother Felix Saluzzi – with a lot of shared history. ‘Navidad de los Andes’ (Andean Nativity) has its own distinct character, at once simple and elusive, like the magical realist tales of the region. Dino’s yearning music captures the sounds of birds in the mountain forests, glimpses of dance halls and village churches, memories carried by the wind. The three musicians have arrived at a very unique sound-blend with bandoneon, cello, and clarinet (or sax), very integrated in a chamber music format that breathes with the apparent effortlessness of folk music.
