Alvaro Lopez's album Pepfoot is a delightful mix of contemporary jazz and Latin rhythms that will leave listeners tapping their feet and nodding their heads in time to the beat. The album features 10 tracks that showcase Lopez's exceptional guitar playing and impressive compositional skills. With a sound that is both sophisticated and accessible, Pepfoot is an excellent addition to any jazz lover's collection.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "La Paz," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track features a driving rhythm section and a catchy melody that is sure to get stuck in your head. Other standout tracks include "El Camino," with its intricate guitar work and infectious groove, and the laid-back "Noche en la Playa," which showcases Lopez's effortless playing and knack for melody.

Throughout the album, Lopez's guitar playing is front and center, but he is also supported by a talented band that includes percussionist Hector Morales, bassist Jorge Roeder, and pianist Leo Genovese. The group has a tight, cohesive sound that is a testament to their chemistry as a band.
