‘Juan Pablo Navarro sexteto’

The Juan Pablo Navarro Sexteto proves that tango is still very much alive and kicking. The six-piece ensemble of the Argentinean double bassist effortlessly switches between genres, innovating while respecting tradition. Many a tango aficionado has been moved by their Tango-Jazz and soon it will be our turn!

Juan Pablo Navarro’s impressive musical career reads like a tango score. He has previously shared the stage with such tango legends like Horacio Salgán and Ubaldo de Lío, the founders of the Quinteto Real and living jazz legend Joe Lovano. Critics and his peers consider him to be one of the most important double bass players in Argentinean popular music. His six-piece ensemble is a fixture in concert halls and at tango festivals across Argentina. On 8 May, Navarro introduces us to his Tango-Jazz, an original combination of tango, jazz and contemporary music. He likes to call his compositions “postcards from a New Sound of Buenos Aires”.
