Flore by Gabriel Rios is a warm acoustic tribute to his Latin roots blending Puerto Rican and Cuban song traditions with delicate modern touches. His voice floats over stripped-down guitars and upright bass.

The album was recorded during lockdown and channels the intimacy of home sessions with a lived-in warmth. Rios blends bolero, bomba and trova influences into personal renditions filled with calm sincerity. Songs like El Ratón reveal emotional depth with clean nylon strings and gently layered harmonies.

Gabriel Rios recorded Flore in Ghent with close collaborators creating a living room vibe that reflects his bicultural background. Known for earlier works like Ghostboy and The Marauder’s Midnight he steps away from polished pop and leans into tradition.

This is an album of reflection and quiet pride where each track becomes a bridge between generations. Rios doesn’t modernize for the sake of novelty but lets the stories unfold with grace. Flore resonates with fans of Latin acoustic, folk and singer-songwriter traditions. It's one of his most intimate and heartfelt records.

Notes

Devendra Banhart appears courtesy of Nonesuch Records, Inc

The songs on the album go back to both his father and grandfather’s youth; songs they would have loved to hear him sing. It’s a heady concoction that’s simultaneously nostalgic and iconoclastic in the rediscovery of a musical hemisphere that Rios left behind two decades ago when leaving Puerto Rico for Europe. But Flore doesn’t simply aim to pay tribute to old latin classics by remaining faithful to the arrangements and instrumentation of 1960’s Nuyorican salsa or older popular ballads of Mexican and Cuban bohemia. It’s a Latin album made in isolation and exile, not only because it was birthed during last year’s pandemic, but because it finds Rios looking back from afar, maybe for the first time, to what remains of his past and his roots.
