In 2023, Juan Manuel returns with two albums that represent a double trip to the past, a nostalgic look at the path traveled, at the moments, at the friends, at the absences, at the memories that we carry in our hearts and that change our look forever. The return is recorded with felt piano, the sounds are more disturbing, sadder, darker, they are the return to those feelings of absences, of distance, of innocence.

Memories of the heart is recorded with a brighter and more dynamic piano, it represents the memories lived, the dreams, the nostalgic moments with friends and family, the passage of time along paths of light.

Two ways of looking at the past that we carry inside our hearts.

Both albums accumulate thousands of listens on streaming platforms.
