Argentinean bandoneonist-composer-improviser Dino Saluzzi returns to his roots with El Valle de la Infancia. Recorded in Buenos Aires, it's the first of his discs to feature his "family band" since 2005's Juan Condori. Here Dino is heard with his brother Felix on tenor sax and clarinet, his son Jos� Mar�a on guitars and nephew Mat�as on basses. Friends joining the party are 7-string guitarist Nicol�s "Colacho" Brizuela, known internationally for his long association with singer Mercedes Sosa, and drummer Quintino Cinalli, brought in by Dino to gently expand the sense of freedom that informs his music. "This work is alive with different genres", writes Leopoldo Castilla in the liner notes. "From dances such as zamba to carnavalito to chacarera... The music captures the natural world of its origins; North Argentina, ablaze with mourning, despairing with joy."
