Released by the enigmatic Spanish project Marocana, "Portraits Of Picasso" evokes North African melodies and rhythms while possessing an abstraction that prevents it from being reduced to a specific ethnomusicological category. It ambiguously intersects with jazz, improvisation, and library music techniques. As the title suggests, its fragmented structure mirrors Picasso's Cubist perspective in sound, appearing more like a collection of "sonic sketches" than conventional compositions. The album creates a sense of dissolved boundaries in terms of place, time, and genre, akin to works by Finis Africae. It is a highly obscure record that leaves its interpretation to the listener.
