#murga

New music Wednesday

A reflective and warm record that reconnects the songwriter with the rhythms and cultural roots of his native Uruguay, weaving candombe, murga, and milonga into a collection of thoughtful, quietly luminous songs. The album feels willfully organic, leaning on percussion and traditional textures while Mr. Drexler meditates on identity, migration, family, and the course of time with his typical lyrical elegance. Rather than chasing grand gestures, this production thrives in its subtlety, exploring Drexler’s relationship with music itself and the traditions that shaped him. The result is a graceful and introspective album that may not be his most immediately compelling work, but it rewards patient listening with depth, craft, and a strong sense of place.
