A.F. Cortés Favorite Albums of 2021
2021 Started with a lot of hope and ended like a shitshow; many shows and tours canceled and an uncertain future. Nevertheless, brilliant music was released. To me was a year of radical change –I became a father of a beautiful girl! So I found myself with less time for listening, yet this is a series of albums I enjoyed during this crazy year.
