Read more: Album Review: Orlando Molina - Antes, Siempre
Antes, Siempre—Before, Always—is a title that both elegantly and precisely sums up the latest release from Venezuelan guitarist, composer and arranger Orlando Molina. Celebrating tradition with contemporary ideas and emotional sensitivity, the album comes off the back of Molina’s critically lauded 2025 first album Autorretrato En Tres Colores, for which he deservedly scooped the inaugural Best Irish Jazz Release Award from the Dublin Jazz Co-Op. Antes, Siempre sees Molina move away from the contemporary compositions of his debut to revisit, reimagine and ultimately honour a repertoire of Latin American music.
The collection of seven favoured songs is arranged for the intimate duo setting of voice and nylon-string guitar. For this, Molina collaborates with 3 separate vocalists: Alicia García, Gustavo Ecclesia and Edi Nunes from Mexico, Argentina and Brazil, respectively. Each vocalist brings their own unique voice, interpretation and cultural context to the recordings. The pieces themselves come from venerated Latin American composers José Alfredo Jiménez, Ivan Lins, Paulinho da Viola, Henry Martínez, Armando Molero, José Sifontes and Quirino Mendoza y Cortés.
