"Pesebre" means "manger", but AXEL KRYGIER's Nativity is one where the Three Kings play Latino twist (as in the track Cucaracha), Peruvian surf music (Esclavo de Olor), bluegrass from the Andes (Serpentea El Tren) and electronic cumbia (Cumbieton Rutero), where Joseph is into tropical klezmer (La Fiera), the Child plays the melodica, and the Ox and the Sheep sing a carol to hip hop beats. The album was recorded in Buenos Aires. AXEL produced, sang, played keyboards, clarinet, sax, accordion, bass and electronics, and his friend Manuel Schaller engineered and co-produced. Axel created the artwork, as well as the animation video for "Pesebre".

AXEL KRYGIER has already performed around Europe, especially in Spain and in France, where he performed both with his band and in a more minimal, sound-system-like setting, and also wrote and recorded music for a successful production by renowned Argentinian author Alfredo Arias ("Trois Tangos"). In 2008 he had also toured the US, joining forces with the spearheads of the Argentinian digital cumbia scene, the Zizek (ZZK) collective, to set clubs and festivals on fire. AXEL is spending more and more time on this side on the pond, as he's set up a new, Paris-based band with which he started touring upon the release of "Pesebre".
