Peruvian superstar Christian Meier did not begin talking about his new album. Así es la ley with release dates or strategy. He began with loss and ended falling in love again with solitude and directing, far, far away from the telenovelas that made him an icon among Latinos.
In Meier's telling, one of the album's deepest emotional centers is "Puerto de Palos," the song he wrote in memory of Pedro Suárez-Vértiz, his friend, bandmate in the beloved South American band Arena Hash, and one of the most beloved rock figures Peru has ever produced. But Meier did not want to write the kind of tribute people expected.
