By RedacciónMCO 11 de Marzo de 2017

 

The talented singer, composer, and guitarist Nea Agostini has been busy promoting his third EP Te Disuelves since its release in 2016. The new production has come to redefine the sound and artistic identity of Nea and his brother, Ale Agostini, who co-writes and plays drums and percussion. After recent promotional tours in Colombia and Mexico, the Italian-Chileans return to the United States for two important official showcases at the Music Festival and Conference SXSW in Austin, Texas. The first showcase will take place on March 15 at Tenoak and the second show presented by BMI will take place at The Thownsend.

 

Te Disuelves is an album that has forever changed the Agostini Brothers, not just due to the unique opportunity to collaborate with superstar producer Sebastian Krys (Gloria Estefan, Shakira, Carlos Vives, Alejandro Sanz) but also because of the talented musicians who contributed to the tracking, including Paul Bushnell on bass (Elton John, Phil Collins and Shakira), Roger Manning Junior on keyboards (Jellyfish, Beck, Imperial Drag, Blink 182), Sean Billings on brass (U2, The Brian Setzer Orchestra, Pitbull), Brian Lang on woodwinds (Christian Pagán, Trevor Hall, Ricardo Arjona), and his brother Ale Agostini on drums and percussion (Muddy Waters all Star Band, Michael Burks, Nate James).

 

The album, which was recorded, mixed, and mastered at East West and The Big Top Studios in Los Angeles, CA, also features co-authored songs by two talented songwriters from South America - Ximena Muñoz (Colombia) and Francisca Valenzuela (Chile).

 

Despite Neas short career, Te Disuelves showcases the maturity of his writing style and distinct voice. "Nea has a rather unusual voice and thats one of the hardest things to find: someone who does not sound like anyone else. He, in particular, grew a lot as a singer with this album." - Sebastian Krys

 

Andres Agostini Cecchi (Nea) has studied at several renowned musical institutions in the world, including the Modern School of Music (Santiago), the Accademia Del Suono (Milano) and Berklee College of Music in Boston. He released his first EP, Stay The Same, in 2015, which was followed up by his debut album entitled Nos Movemos. From this first album came the single "Estamos Juntos", which has now reached over one million plays on Spotify.

 

While the Agostini brothers prepare for their promotional tour in the U.S., which begins in Austin, continues through New York (March 20-24) where they will be presenting their third album to the press, and ends in Miami, Nea Agostini continues to shine as one of the most talented, emerging international artists of today.
