Jorge Drexler: the return to Montevideo to record his new album, the tribute to his father, and family routine
Musician Jorge Drexler releases his new album 'Taracá' while reflecting on his recording process and family life in an interview.
Jorge Drexler, the acclaimed musician, has just released his new album titled 'Taracá', which he dedicates to the memory of his father, Gunther Drexler. In an intimate interview with La Nacion, he shares insights into his recording process, revealing a relaxed demeanor and thoughtful reflections about the creative journey. Drexler emphasizes that it is only now, in hindsight, that he truly understands the significance of his album, which he describes as a mirror into the past.
The album 'Taracá' marks the fifteenth in Drexler's career and is deeply rooted in his Uruguayan heritage. Most of the recording took place in Montevideo, and the inflection of the candombe rhythm—a traditional Uruguayan style—can be felt throughout the album. This connection to his roots is significant for Drexler, who embraces the sounds of his culture while also exploring personal themes related to family and memory.
As he balances the demands of his music career with family life, Drexler's reflection on his father's influence and his past becomes a focal point of this new work. With his upcoming performances set for the Movistar Arena, Drexler demonstrates a commitment not only to his art but also to honoring his heritage and making meaningful connections through music. His latest release invites listeners to partake in his journey of rediscovery and homage to family values.
