Description:

Like a gentle breeze, like water that moistens your throat, like a small bird playing in the forest. Smiling music that soothes the soul. After "Luz de Agua," a two-parter that is etched in the history of contemporary Argentine neo-folklore, and "Aguaciravas," released under the name of a trio with Carlos Aguirre and Gonzalo Diaz, Sebastián Macchi has released his new solo work, "Melodia Bardia," which is a collection of songs with the gentle voice of Sebastián, melodies, and natural lilacs. While maintaining Sebastian's gentle voice, melodies, and natural and lyrical piano, this ambitious work features a variety of guests and represents a major leap forward in terms of song ideas, harmonies, and arrangements. Another album to be cherished and listened to forever has arrived from the shores of Paraná.
