Carlos Vargas, “Souvenirs”

“Souvenirs” is a collection of works that reflects my diverse musical influences and interests: from my Latin American roots to my passion for jazz standards, French ballads, and, of course, my classical background. Each piece, or group of pieces, was selected with a particular person in mind—someone who has played a significant role in my musical journey. The title, *Souvenirs*, symbolizes this intention: a small gift to express my gratitude for their support and guidance. The album features compositions by Villa-Lobos, Gershwin/Wild, Bullumba Landestoy, Scriabin, Golijov, as well as Roberto Piana’s *Elaborations* on songs by Édith Piaf.
