Le dedico este disco a mi queridísimo Diego Vargas Fouilloux, cuyo espíritu dejó de vibrar eneste plano a sólo unos días de los tamborazos aquí documentados. Espero las vibraciones efímeras de esta música sean testamento a las olas de amor y vivencias que el ritmo de tu corazón me dejó a mi y a tantos más.
Con cariño,
Guri Canuri

I would like to dedicate this album to my very dear Diego Vargas Fouilloux, who’s spirit ceased to vibrate in this plane just two days after the rumbling of the drums captured on this record. I hope that the ephemeral vibrations of this music can be a testament to the waves of love and life that the rhythm of your heart gave me, and so many others.
Love,
Guri Canuri
