Omar Torrez is a traveler. In every sense. His family tree contains clues to both Spanish and Basque, as well as Aleutian, Norwegian and even Russian roots. While living a gypsy life, he traveled almost all over the world - from Andalusia to Cuba, from Egypt to Russia, learning from masters everywhere. It is no wonder, therefore, that Omar's musical reach is extremely wide. This includes early blues from Robert Johnson, Howlin 'Wolf and Muddy Waters, tonal and atonal classical guitar playing techniques, flamenco, pop and rock music, Brazilian folk music, Cuban son, gypsy music, Balkan rhythms, funk, RnB, a bolero mixed with electronics, the diatonics of Latin music as well as avant-garde post-tonal practice. For the first time, a musician living in the United States gained wider attention in the finals of the Jimi Hendrix Guitar Competition in Seattle, where he performed with a borrowed guitar. Above all, however, Omar Torrez is known as Tom Guit's guitarist and banjo player on the 2008 Glitter and Doom tour. The tour plan consisted of a selection of Tom Waits' best stories from the past. A total of 28 two-and-a-half-hour concerts were given in the United States and Europe. The concert also featured a 17-track live album of the same name recorded in various cities, which reached the charts of fourteen countries. "Glitter and Doom" has remained the last concert tour of old master Tom Waits. In addition to Tom Waits, Omar Torrez has shared the stage with names such as Buena Vista Social Club, Jethro Tull, Tony Levin, Bill Laswell, Kinky, Sidestepper, Pancho Sanchez, Mumiy Troll, Nortec Collective, Francisco Aguabella and many, many more. In recent years, he has been associated with Russian musician Boris Grebenchikov. Omar has performed at many prestigious festivals, including one of the largest Bumbershoot festivals in Seattle, Vive Latino, Cervantino Festival, Zihuatanejo International Guitar Festival and Ferie de San Marcos in Mexico, as well as several other festivals in Europe, including Russia. Omar Torrez's own musical recipe consists of equal parts of post-modern rock, delta blues, Mexican and Cuban son - all mixed with the stunning spices of a magical guitar and seasoned with the talent of an arrogant but passionate songwriter...

De Fint calls it chamber music, and it's backed by the care with which they compose their compositions. ”(Chris Baber, Jazz Views, UK) While the previous "We Live Here" (Losen, 2016) made a deep impression, the composition "Love Unknown" has further developed the compositions (here in collaboration with bassist Stefano Dall'Ora) as well as the chemistry between the musicians. It is an immersive listening that touches us in various shades, romantic, powerful, sad, sometimes challenging, and ultimately content. ”(Geno Thackara, All About Jazz, USA) During a severe pandemic (which hit northern Italy particularly hard) the quartet managed to write new music, which was recorded in June 2021.
