Our Take

In his latest album, "Despertando," Diego Pinera takes listeners on a musical journey that is equal parts chaotic and captivating. The frenetic energy of Pinera's drumming propels each track forward with a sense of urgency that is impossible to ignore.

From the opening notes of "Despierta," it is clear that Pinera is not afraid to take risks with his music. The Latin rhythms and jazz influences collide in a cacophony of sound that somehow manages to coalesce into something truly unique and exciting.

Tracks like "Reflejo" showcase Pinera's versatility as a musician, with its delicate piano melodies and intricate percussion work. The result is a hypnotic blend of sounds that is as soothing as it is invigorating.

However, not every track on "Despertando" hits the mark. Some songs feel a bit too experimental, with jarring shifts in tone that can be off-putting.

Overall, Diego Pinera's "Despertando" is a bold and ambitious album that is sure to leave a lasting impression. With its mix of Latin flair and jazz sensibilities, Pinera has crafted a work of art that is as daring as it is delightful. So, if you're in the mood for something a bit out of the ordinary, give "Despertando" a spin - you won't be disappointed.
