Unterwegs, 2020

Songs from the road

“It’s all about breathing life into music... lovely, intimate songs from Argentina, Brazil, and Cuba that Julián honors by singing in their original language, be it Spanish, Portuguese, or English. Through transformative, authentic, and moving performances, Julián takes his audiences on a rich and expressive cultural journey with each and every song. A virtuoso on guitar, he accompanies himself in a deep and minimal, yet rebidding, emotional way.” 

— Rhea March - Artist Advisor (The Banff Centre, Canada)


Unterwegs is a German word that means “On the road” and it is the direct result of a journey I started years ago, that took me through different landscapes, from the mountains to the sea, and in which I learned many things. This record portraits the pain but, foremost, the joy of living. It is a humble record with very deep implications.
