Summary: <p>Musician, actor and doctor (otolaryngologist) Jorge Drexler grew up in Uruguay, and now lives in Spain. Listeners may be familiar with Drexler’s music because his theme song for <em>The Motorcycle Diaries</em> won an Academy Award (presented to him by Prince.) His latest collection of songs, <em>Salvavidas de Hiel</em>o, is guitar-based, but augmented by a wide sonic palette of effects – samples, loops and beats created by different parts of guitars, dobros, and banjos. There is a song that touches on the loss of the planet’s glaciers, there’s one about how people have been migrating throughout time to stay alive – “Movimiento”, and yet another celebrating the elegance of silence. Jorge Drexler and his band play arrangements of these songs in-studio. </p> <p>Set list: </p> <ul> "Movimiento" "Asilo" "Telefonía" </ul> <p> </p>
