Guillermo Nojechowicz and El Eco
About Puerto de Buenos Aires 1933
EL ECO with Guillermo Nojechowicz
I am so happy to listen and to honestly say that this is a beautiful and important record.
— Jazz vocalist Luciana Souza
This concert will feature tunes from Puerto de Buenos Aires 1933 the long-awaited new CD from Argentinean drummer-composer Guillermo Nojechowicz and his jazz ensemble EL ECO. The disk was released by Zoho Music, the Grammy-winning New York-based jazz label.
The project was inspired by a remnant of Guillermo’s family history, the passport that his grandmother carried when she fled Warsaw for Argentina in 1933 along with her small son. Crossing Europe by train, they left behind everything familiar to face the unknown in Buenos Aires — a trip that spared them from the Holocaust, when so many others in their community later perished. The Latin jazz suite that chronicles their long, uncertain journey is the centerpiece of EL ECO’s new recording, Puerto de Buenos Aires 1933.
Marco Pignataro (sax), Fernando Huergo (bass), Guillermo Nojechowicz (drums), Anastassyia Petrova (piano) and Milena Casado (trumpet), Farayi Malek (vocals)
