Everything Pablo Ablanedo does sounds Big. And Ablanedo makes the achievement of the epic appear effortless. His songs have a persona that presents themselves as music of a noble grandeur, of music that attains great heights with a graceful ease and a fluid motion. As such, his newest recording,ReContraDoble, elicits thrilling shifts in anticipation, encapsulating the expansive in a way that exposes the beauty residing in the tiny details. Bird is the Worm (US)

“ReContraDoble” is an impressive piece of work, a meticulously crafted album that features intriguing compositions, colorful and innovative arrangements and some excellent playing from a highly competent ensemble. It’s unmistakably Latin music but avoids all the clichés of the genre, this is Latin music played with discipline and precision rather than wild abandon and to these ears, it’s all the more satisfying for that.
