Aire de mar album cover by Cuban jazz guitarist and composer Ricky Castillo

aire de mar

Aire de Mar is a deeply personal exploration of texture, space, and melodic intuition. Built entirely from guitar-based improvisations, the album captures the organic relationship between acoustic and electric guitar, allowing natural resonance and expression to guide the music. The result is an intimate and reflective body of work that invites the listener into a fluid, unfiltered sonic landscape.
