“Travesía [voyage],” the inaugural solo album by Irene Torres, signifies a journey back to her Peruvian roots. Sung in Spanish, the album consists of five original tracks, three cover songs, and three instrumental interludes, blending a unique array of musical styles, including Afro-Peruvian rhythms, bolero, lando, marinera, tondero, valsé, and festejo.The album features an ensemble of prominent Latin musicians from Canada alongside traditional Peruvian instruments and percussion, culminating in a sound that is both authentic and innovative.

​Recorded at Pacha Sound under the expert guidance of Lima-born Guillermo Subauste, the album reflects Irene’s dual heritage as a Peruvian immigrant and Canadian citizen. The collaborative effort includes writing contributions from JJ Jerónimo Acuña and Guillermo Subauste, alongside talented musicians Matias Recharte, Dhany Mario Rivas Rosas, Luisito Orbegoso, Eric St-Laurent and Alexander Brown, and vocal arrangements by Jono Grant.

“Travesía” is a narrative of the sometimes difficult journey to home, identity, and belonging. Traversing the emotional landscape of an immigrant, exploring themes of adaptation, nostalgia, and enduring connections to one’s roots, it encapsulates Irene’s personal journey from Peru to Canada, evolving from the physicality of spaces to the intangible essence of moments and memories.

From the reminiscences of her mother’s strong presence to the chaos of her father’s paint brushes and canvas, to the bond with her brother, “Travesía” is a testament to the notion that home is not just a place but a tapestry of the growth from her experiences and relationships. It invites listeners to reflect on their own definitions of home, encouraging a deeper understanding of the universal experiences of displacement and the search for belonging.
