De cero is the debut album by Diego Gutiérrez. Its arrangements and sonority range from pop-rock and latin pop to Nueva Trova and cuban music. In 2007, it won three nominations and two Cubadisco Awards in the category of Best Album of Trova-Pop-Rock and Best Video Clip for its single En la Luna de Valencia.
Production
De cero was recorded in the Abdala Studios (Havana, Cuba) with a small ensemble of musicians and it represented a turn over in Diego Gutiérrez ´s career, because of the way his songs were presented to the audience. The songs in the album were composed through his guitar alone and with the new arrangements his work reached a whole new level regarding musical expression, which was a pleasant surprise for his fans.
Record producer Elmer Ferrer, along with his band and that time, brought pop-rock sounds and jazz harmonies to Gutiérrez work, and an unprejudiced approach to it, which contributed to this debut album's success.
