| Gabriel Garzon-Montano is no stranger to creating music that defies |
| classification. His first two albums, Bishoune: Alma del Huila and |
| Jardin 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 Garzon-Montano to put the vulnerable tenderness of his voice and |
| his lyrics on display. His latest record, Aguita, reveals a new, |
| playful, and experimental side to Garzon-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 |
| Garzon-Montano's soulful approach that makes this album a must |
| listen. |
| |
| The album opens with "Tombs," a track featuring an ominous piano and |
| a tinkering marimba underscoring Garzon-Montano's nostalgic, raspy |
| croon. A song about mourning the death of a relationship, "Tombs" |
| evolves into a composition with violins and strings in crescendo, and |
| a wailing electric guitar-indicative of the turmoil that |
| Garzon-Montano wants us to experience. |
| |
| The discordant, classical strings and pianos run throughout the |
| record, creating a breathlessly beautiful rollercoaster of emotions |
| where Garzon-Montano explores feelings of loss, grief, and the |
| endings of nature's cycles. Aguita's wildcards come in the form of |
| "Muneca," "Mira My Look," and the title track "Aguita." These three |
| songs have Garzon-Montano entering Latin trap and reggaeton |
| territory, and abandoning his soulful notes for rough, staccato |
| rhyming. Performing in Spanish for the first time on record, |
| Garzon-Montano takes us out of the melancholic fantasy world he |
| created for Aguita, and thrusts us back into the disorienting urban |
| landscapes some of us call home. |
| |
| |
| A Brooklyn-born and raised child of immigrant parents, Gabriel's |
| aesthetic is an extension of his French-Colombian heritage. His |
| influence is a pastiche of Bach sonatas, Cumbia records, and the |
| machine gun funk that echoes up and down Nostrand Ave. His mother, a |
| member of the Philip Glass ensemble in the 1990s, instilled within |
| him a painstaking attention to detail that remains a hallmark of his |
| process. "She is the reason that I love music," he says. Her rigorous |
| classical instruction formed the foundation on which he honed his |
| skills over the years in the lab, copping Stevie's changes, studying |
| Prince's lyrics, and absorbing the beat theses of Timbaland, Dilla, |
| and Pete Rock. |
