Jorge Drexler
About the Event
A hushed voice and a knack for lovely melodies have made singer-songwriter Jorge Drexler a legend in his native Uruguay. The 13-time Latin Grammy winner won an Oscar in 2005 for his song “Al Otro Lado Del Río,” from The Motorcycle Diaries. He sings softly, evoking vulnerability, hope, and wistfulness, with one eye trained on the cosmos. Rolling Stone says, “Something about the artist—maybe his narrative approach to songwriting or his nomadic explorations of Latin American folk sounds—has always made him feel like a living troubadour in the present day” and called his 2022 album Tinta y Tiempo “a stirring ode to love and human connection” at the time.
In this very special acoustic concert, he'll perform songs of wonder and wisdom from across his career, including selections from his most recent album, Taracá, which was nominated for eight Latin Grammys.
