After many years in the planning José Saavedra joins forces with Grammy nominated Puerto Rican songwriter and producer Walter Morciglio to present Conversos, a collection of contemporary Puerto Rican Poetry put into song. As Saavedra's previous works, Conversos explores the territory of Latin American acoustic guitar music this time to blend them with Morciglios territory of electronica and pop, creating a blend hard to attach to a specific genre.
Conversos (Converts/Together with Verse), as the Spanish title suggests is an exploration of words in their poetic form. It is also a journey where two songwriters are converted to an imaginary religion or faith where the path towards illumination is the process of discovering the power of poems by converting them into songs.
