The album features some of Agustin's most uniquely beautiful compositions, including \"Luces de Valeria\" and \"Preparativos Maritimos,\" alongside \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBaden Powell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's \"Pequeño Vals\" and \"O Cego Aderaldo (Nordeste),\" and \"Tema Barroco\" by his longtime collaborator, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGuilhermo Reuter\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. By 1988, Agustín had established himself as one of Argentina's foremost interpreters of Brazilian music. The seventies saw success with his group \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eCandeias\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and he gained recognition in Brazil, forming friendships and collaborations with luminaries such as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinicius de Moraes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Baden Powell, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDorival Caymmi\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eToquinho\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaria Bethania\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Following the era of dictatorship in South America, Agustín spent the late seventies and early eighties, living and touring in Norway as part of his European travels with his group \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAgustín Pereyra Lucena Quartet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Recorded after returning to his native Buenos Aires, Agustin Peyera Lucena's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePuertos de Alternativa\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e emerged from this confluence of diverse experiences and influences, revealing an artist deeply connected to his environment. The album's title, meaning \"Alternative Harbours,\" reflects Agustín's particular affinity for water. He observed that much of his favorite music originated from places with rivers and seas nearby, noting, \"There is a flow near water that influences guitar playing for sure.\" With a profound connection to both instrument and environment, Agustín's music is often difficult to place. The album begins rooted deeply in South American soil, drawing clear inspiration from Brazilian guitar masters like \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeitor Villa Lobos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGaroto\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and Baden Powell. But, as it progresses, a sense of journey unfolds, evoking new landscapes and horizons -- from the crystalline beauty of glacial Norway to the gentle currents of the Rio de la Plata. The ensemble on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePuertos de Alternativa\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e features notable Argentinian musicians, including drummer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eOsvaldo Avena\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, flautist \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRubén Izarrualde\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and saxophonist \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBernardo Baraj\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
