Pianist Manuel Gutierrez, double bassist Xacobe Martínez Antelo and drummer L.A.R. Legido, give birth to “SUMRRÁ. 7 VISIÓNS” a new record that involves the consolidation of a unique way of understanding live music. SUMRRÁ makes the inspired exercise of taking perspective and rethinking our own existence through music. “7 visions” lucid, overwhelming, great... The best album of SUMRRÁ

SUMRRÁ step back during this pandemic looking inward - wondering about Time - Huge time - Universal time - Stellar time. One second or 13.700 million years. And Distance - real distances heightened by pandemic restrictions that give perspective. Perspective on who we are, what we are doing, why, and for how long - as
individuals and as a species. SUMRRÁ draw inspiration from Visions that inspire moods, mental states, radical concepts, and from joy, play, and freedom without prejudice.
The three musicians based in Compostela look with new eyes at the “Sapiens sapiens”, the “Inner Space” that lives inside each of us, or the “Ra”, the star King, the source of all life. They reflect on our eternal position in the “Universal Periphery,” or the permanent dance of the “Gravitational Forces.” They tell through their music what happened “13.7 billion years later”, or why there are 7 degrees that separate “Aswan from Alexandria”.
A result as surprising as it is revealing.
