Albumet kom idag, dette synes jeg er hørbart.
Diego Garcia's music has been described as 'a wonderful amalgamation of Argentinean heritage, 70's AM pop radio, and the dusty sound of dreams.' Born in Detroit to Argentine parents, Garcia traced his diverse roots on his critically acclaimed debut solo album, 2011's
Laura.
Inspired by the early pioneers of the classic Latin troubadour movement such as Sandro, Roberto Carlos and Julio Iglesias, Garcia was compelled to 'pick up where they left off.' It's the fusion of these Latin influences with the era's Anglo visionaries such as David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, and Bryan Ferry that makes Garcia's new album,
Paradise, truly special.

Laura.
[1][3] Garcia’s band includes an Italian-born cellist and a Spanish-styled guitarist, plus a tight rhythm section. Garcia cites the young
Julio Iglesias as his role model. He has taken inspiration from and has been compared to
Leonard Cohen due to their florid instrumental sounds and soul-rending ballads, but most importantly the album was inspired by his girlfriend Laura. The couple is now married, with a young daughter.
