"No big words in his lyrics. His arte-poetica grows in the
Yupanqui-style: the greatness of the small things, talking by
themselves.

All what Drexler says becomes beautyfull, just because it is
simply true and coming from a human, transparently and completely
open tu us.
Combined with that, are the fine sensitivity in the melodies
that he creates, his arrangements and an evidently "total
aesthetical control" of the product that he presents.Try "Memoria del cuero", and if you'r not spanish-speaking,
ask some friend to translate it for you while listening. This
tune, together with "De Amor y Casualidad" in his former album
"Llueve" puts definitly Drexler's name in the first line of
the uruguayan musical concept.Only a genuine uruguayan, could write-down, compose, arrange
and compute together all this materials. And JD is still doing
it for us. Cheers!"

Take me home
