Cuatro Esquinas - Después de Medianoche

Cuatro Esquinas present a tightly focused statement shaped by patience, restraint, and collective awareness. Recorded as a unified session rather than a set of isolated performances, Después de Medianoche unfolds with the quiet confidence of a group that listens as carefully as it plays. The ensemble favors space over display, allowing phrases to linger and overlap, and letting the music breathe at its own pace. Rhythmic motion is suggested rather than declared, emerging from subtle exchanges between melody and harmony. There is a strong sense of place throughout the album, not as scenery but as atmosphere, with each piece contributing to a continuous nocturnal arc. Cuatro Esquinas avoid obvious climaxes, choosing instead to build coherence through texture, balance, and mutual restraint. The result is an album that rewards close attention, revealing its depth through repetition and sustained listening rather than immediacy.
