Combine vibrating urbano bass that conjures classic Daddy Yankee, a silky R&B voice that could make Prince blush and textures reminiscent of John Carpenter's Halloween score, and you've got the latest album from Gabriel Garzón-Montano.
On Agüita, released Oct. 2, the genre-bending multi-instrumentalist takes listeners around the world in less than an hour. But he says the album isn't just a musical vacation: It's also a rebuke of an American culture obsessed with classifying everything.
