Triunfal (CD) Available starting October 1st

This album brings us a selection of pieces that illustrate two stages in Piazzolla’s creative work: the  creation of the Nuevo Tango “Piazzolleano” in the 1960s, and its worldwide debut in the 1980s.  

”Triunfal”, the title track of the album, is one of Piazzolla’s earlier works, one that foreshadowed artistic elements that Astor later utilized in the 1960s. It is also the same piece he played for Nadia Boulanger in Paris upon her request to showcase the kind of music he performed back in Buenos Aires.

The iconic pedagogue immediately saw the passion and discipline in his music, two virtues she considered  fundamental to creation, and so she insisted that Piazzolla not abandon this path. From then on, Piazzolla  began to cultivate a sound that would become synonymous with his name and change the world of tango  music. 

The works included in this volume musically recount distinctive moments of an intense and passionate creative story, in which there is no shortage of tributes and nods to his idols and his musicians, the cities he’s lived in and his life experiences.
