![The songs of Temporada de Pesca [Fishing Season], the latest album by Martin Guerra, will probably appear on exquisitely curated playlists of Indie Alterlatino. Martin Guerra, a Peruvian musician based in Madrid, has produced an experimental and hybrid album that combines Latin American musical traditions—the Afro-Peruvian being a crucial one—with modern sounds of jazz and rock. Ceremonial and celebration chants, troubadour and minstrel reminiscences, street voices of itinerant merchants are combined with guitars, bass, and percussions of mestizaje roots. These elements are blended in the voice of the singer—ironic, contemplative, narrative, festive or melancholic.
The title of the album—Temporada de Pesca [Fishing Season]—highlights the nature of this project as a committed experimental creative act. It reflects the period in which the artist—like a fisherman of revelations—extends his net over sounds and words with the hope of catching songs and concepts. This is an album that insists on the idea of art as a constant searching. In addition to this poetic view, the songs also make subtle references to the Latin American socio-political context. In Subasta (maybe the best song of the album), the musician alludes to Alan Garcia—the corrupt Peruvian ex-president who killed himself by gunshot to avoid going to jail—as a metaphor of the tragic contemporary social market. But all of this is done through poetry: Martin Guerra combines popular cultures with surrealist associations. Where some might see influences of Tom Waits or Nick Cave, others would encounter echoes of Ruben Blades or Luis Alberto Spinetta. In other words, Temporada de Pesca belongs to the singer songwriter tradition that seeks a unique vision and style based on a profound knowledge of the musical tradition. Glocal music from a balcony in Lavapiés or Barranco. The album can be listened to in Spotify; the vinyl is a collection item.
