I started studying piano at 8 in Buenos Aires, and still trying to learn. The same with composition, etc, so lets face it: I am a student. I had lots of teachers of this and that, including some in Spain and in NY, you know, composition, harmony, blah blah. I had classical training, but what really got me was the folk music from north west of Argentina. My parents were friends with Jaime Torres, Hugo Diaz...Of course, jazz music and tango have been there since I was a teen, so there they are in what I write as well.
I have been playing, arranging, recording with all styles of singers from rock to tango, from folk to jazz since 1983. The list is long and includes Jorge Sobral, Miguel Cantilo, Cecilia Rossetto, Marcelo San juan...After moving to Barcelona in 1996, I have travelled quite a lot playing my own music through Europe and the US in clubs, theaters and festivals...I guess my different interests and approaches to music has allowed me to live quiet a diverse life , from being guest pianist with Edimburgh Chamber Orchestra to conducting my own Tango Big Band arrangements with the Arturo O'Farrill's Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra at Lincoln Center ; from touring Japan with Jorge Cumbo to recording with Paquito D'Rivera in NY. I have 6 CDs on my name for Fresh Sound Records. I am so thankful to whoever gave me this skill to put sounds together in a way that sometimes can touch people souls. I am thrilled now that I moved to NYC, being able to play with all these great musicians and know the music deeper every single day.
Thanks for taking a moment to listen to what I do. The two videos here are parts of piano solos with the Tango Jazz Conspiracy at Smalls, NYC, April 2007, with Jeff Ballard, Chris Cheek, Pablo Aslan, Donny McCaslin and Victor Prieto. Below, and on the left side of the page, my European band, Afines, in a 2005 Barcelona concert. Enjoy!
