“A musical meditation of the book The Open Veins of Latin America, by the esteemed author Eduardo Galeano. It is a brilliant exploration of jazz mashed up with various sounds from Latin America.”
- NPR’s Alt.Latino
“Cortiñas has produced a veritable musical score, replete with all the revolutionary nuances and cadences invoked by Galeano... The revolt against oppression reaches a climax that is better understood with Galeano's book in your hand, and Cortiñas' music in your ears."
- DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE
“Gustavo Cortiñas’ third release as a leader, the magnificent Desafio Candente is an ambitious work both in depth and breadth. The spontaneous ensemble is intricately textured and lyrical with distinct individual styles complementing one another. Desafio Candente is innovative, elegant, and relevant. It is socially engaged music with themes that are simultaneously timely and timeless.”
