En "CUIDANDO LA MEMORIA", Daniel Irigoyen se perfila con música latina contemporánea y con textos contestatarios y críticos sobre el mundo de hoy. Todo envuelto en el espíritu universal del Soul, el Rock argentino y las improvisaciones de la música afrolatina. Grabado junto a músicos de Cuba y Argentina. Lo testimonial y la búsqueda desde el cemento en la percepción de Daniel el músico poeta, está presente en todas sus canciones, mostrando su multiplicidad instrumental. 1.

En Cuidando La Memoria, Daniel nos regala la nostalgia y la perspectiva futura desde el presente como un testimonio cultural en la emigración. Y esto es sólo una parte de la fascinación de Daniel Irigoyen. Su voz es otro de los puntos fundamentales de su mensaje. En este disco, Irigoyen nos ofrece mucho más que música y poesía. La Música y la poesía de Daniel Irigoyen son un asalto al cielo; aunque en el intento se le queman las alas como a "Icaro". Como en el "Gilgamesch", primero baja al mundo de los muertos , luego se nos parece a un condenado medieval en el purgatorio del Dante, encontrando al final en el cielo, a su beatrice. Su mensaje nos habla del "Nomadismo" del siglo XXI, y la materia de su música viaja impregnada de los 64 exagramas del "I-Ching", de los 22 arcanos del "Tarot" y de la masa bio-cósmica de "Amerindia", más el "aché" que cargan los tambores batá, que tanto le gustan a "Changó". "Shiva" lo protege, mientras baila la danza de la vida en el centro del universo; que es cada uno de nuestros corazones. Con su voz, que tiene la gama cromática de un cello profundo en un Cuarteto de Cámara, ha sido elegido con ventaja, por ésta vez, a representar con sus canciones la especie humana. Edgar Plata (Colombia) You will love the dominant rhythmical element (also noticable in the way the voice leads you through the songs) if you have a faible for Latin-American flair. Through the transparency in the recording Daniel Irigoyens shows us exactly how sounds and grooves come together to create certain impulses. All the percussion and drum arrangements sparkle in a really well planned manner in this musical combination between Argentine Rock, Funk, Jazz and Latino-Fusion. They are partly playful, but also take you by surprise, and above all, they are performed in an intelligent way, successfully creating a certain tension on a high quality level of musical capability. The Argentine Daniel Irigoyen started his musical career as a drummer, percussionist, singer/songwriter in 1969. The glamorous CV of this multicultural drummer shows a wide field of creative work. The music and poetry of Daniel Irigoyen are a leap into the sky, although in the attempt his wings burn like those of Icarus. Like in the Gilgamesch, he first goes down to the world of the dead, after which he appears like a medieval condemned in the Dante´s purgatorio, finding at last in the sky his Beatrice. His message speak to us about the "Nomadism of the 21th century", and the substance of his music journeys impregnated with the 64 hexagrams of the I-Ching, with the 22 arcans of the Tarot and with the bio-cosmic mass of "Amerindia", plus the "Aché" that the Bata drums carry, that "Chango" likes so much. Shiva protects him, while dancing the dance of life in the center of the universe, that is in each one of our hearts. With his voise, that has the chromatic variations of the deep cello of a chamber quartet, he was chosen to have the previlege, for this time, to represent with his songs the human race.
