Exilio by Alex Mercado Trio
Alex Mercado presents his seventh record album and the fourth in trio format -with Gabriel Puentes on drums and Israel Cupich on double bass- conceived and produced in 2020 during the contingency by Covid-19 and supported by the National Fund for Culture and the arts.
Including 11 original compositions by Alex Mercado in avant-garde contemporary acoustic jazz format, the album is inspired by the symbolic exile that expelled humanity from its usual status and its everyday self to embark on a journey towards a new normal, to which it will have to adapt in order to survive.
