After almost five years away from recording, Drexler presented his new album "Tinta y Tiempo" in April 2022. A brilliant, generous, rich work destined to become an essential part of his repertoire, featuring collaborations with Rubén Blades, C. Tangana, Noga Erez and Martín Buscaglia. Drexler was recently honored with seven Latin Grammy awards, five of them for this new album. To coincide with the release of this album, he embarked on an extensive international tour of Latin America and Europe.

Drexler's career is extensive and exuberant, in his tireless spirit of searching and experimenting with music and lyrics. His texts, inspired by various fields of knowledge, are multi-layered and delve into the world of poetry and science alike. His passion for prose and verse, tenths and words, as well as his personal ability to express people's feelings, contribute to his iron will to build bridges between different cultures and to seek a connection and empathy between all societies in the modern world.
