A vocalist, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Axel Krygier is a central figure in the alternative music scene in Argentina, where he's considered a modern-day Renaissance man, having ran the gamut from playing in rock bands, writing scores for acclaimed playwrights, and being a forerunner of the digital cumbia movement.

Axel Krygier's unique sound has been described as a mash-up of jazz, rock, electronica, cumbia, Argentinian folklore and experimental music. On 'Pesebre' you'll hear Peruvian surf music, bluegrass from the Andes, electronic cumbia, tropical klezmer and a Latino twist.

The album was recorded in Buenos Aires and Axel produced, sang, played keyboards, clarinet, sax, accordion, bass and electronics, and even created the artwork, as well as the animation video for "Pesebre". When he appeared at the La Kinea festival in London in 2003 the Observer reported: "The multi-talented, multi-tasking Krygier, who switches effortlessly between flute, tenor sax and keyboard throughout his funky set, is Argentinian but his musicians come from Spain, Portugal and Cuba. His music veers between reggae, ska, jazz and flamenco with some yodeling thrown in. Odd, but somehow it works."
