Rafael Tarjuelo presents his debut album, 12X. Trece piezas para laúd, a work awarded the distinguished Melómano de Oro and a finalist at the MIN Awards. In this album, composed of works by Ángel Pozo, Tarjuelo explores the incredible versatility of the lute through thirteen pieces that range from simple, evocative melodies to more complex and dynamic rhythms.

The album opens with passages that invite a dreamy and tranquil atmosphere, where the lute showcases its ability to envelop the listener. Following this, it pays tribute to the rich polyphony of the Renaissance, demonstrating the technical mastery of the performer. The album also includes influences from Latin American folklore, featuring works that evoke the spirit of Brazilian folk, Venezuelan chords and arpeggios, and a sweet Valencian lullaby.

12X is a sonic journey that highlights the timbral and percussive possibilities of the lute, offering a unique musical experience under the masterful interpretation of Rafael Tarjuelo.
