Bio

Guitarist, composer and educator Alejandro Flórez has called NYC home since 2005. His music is filled with allusions to the sounds of his native Colombia, but his contact with contemporary improvisation and new music brings in an honest infusion of abstraction. The result is a complex sonic tapestry that is expansive and visceral, intricate and at times frenetic, lyrical and surprising.
