Pérez Cruz's voice and Falú's guitar become pure emotion to bring us closer to the mystery.

Juan Falú and Sílvia Pérez Cruz met on stage on several occasions until they finally recorded together Lentamente, an album released in 2024.

Singing with Juan is freedom, it is music in its purest state, there is no thought, it is feeling and flight. Listening to him is a beauty that fills me, surprises me, moves me. His counterpoints, his silences, how he tells what he tells and the infinite weight of what he does not play. It is a true honor to accompany and feel accompanied by Juan Falú.
Sílvia Pérez Cruz, April 2024

Meeting Sílvia Pérez Cruz was one of the sublime experiences in my musical life.

The dialogue between voice and guitar resembles a conversation with an open agenda and spontaneous words full of meaning. A resounding communion. Silvia not only sings. She says, shouts, whispers, laughs and cries, from an overflowing musicality. That voice intertwined with my guitar, reminds me of the sacredness of music.
Juan Falú, March 2024

Sílvia Pérez Cruz

She is one of the most overwhelming voices that has appeared in recent times; in the words of Jorge Drexler, "a voice that marks a generation". Singer and composer, she has eight solo albums and has collaborated with many national and international artists. She frequently interacts with other artistic disciplines such as dance, film, theater and poetry. She has been awarded prestigious prizes such as the Goya Award for best original song(Ai, ai, ai, 2017), the Max Award for best composition for stage show(Grito pelao, 2019) or the Premio Nacional de Músicas Actuales (2022), for "the creative and interpretative quality of her career, the naturalness, versatility and audacity of her proposals and her unwavering commitment to beauty", among others.

In April 2023, Toda la vida, un día ( Sony Music Spain), his most recent work, was released. Natalia Lafourcade and Salvador Sobral, among many others, collaborated on it. Sílvia has presented this album live in more than 80 concerts between 2023 and 2024. She has also recently performed several shows with the Territorios project with Liliana Herrero and Maria Gadú, a European tour and another American tour with Damien Rice, and two different programs with symphonic orchestra, among other projects. His collaboration in two songs of the recently released album by Residente, Las letras ya no importan ( Sony Music, 2024) offers an accurate portrait of his projection and versatility.

Juan Falú

A self-taught musician, he is considered a reference in Argentine music, in his double capacity as composer and performer. He has received important awards such as the Premio Nacional de Música 2000 and the Premio Trayectoria del Fondo Nacional de las Artes, granted by his country's government. He received the Clarín Award for best Argentine folk music artist in 2001 and 2007, the Perfil Award and the Gardel Award, for which he was nominated in six editions.

His works for guitar recreate the musical roots of Argentina, being also the creator of songs that integrate the repertoires of outstanding interpreters of Argentine folklore. Falú reveals a deep knowledge of the music of his land, projecting it from its roots towards new horizons and with a recognized capacity for improvisation.

He has given concerts in prestigious halls in about 40 countries in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa for 35 years. He is founder and artistic director of the Guitarras del Mundo festival, considered the largest international meeting of its kind.

He received the Honoris Causa distinction from the Universidad Nacional de San Martín, Argentina, the university where he created the Bachelor's Degree in Argentine Music in 2013 and was its director until 2022, the year in which he closed a cycle of 32 years of teaching.
