   PEDRO MENENDEZ es un brillante compositor y multinstrumentista. Reconocido como uno de los pioneros del estilo de fusión de vanguardia en la Argentina, su música es una personal y magnífica mixtura de ritmos latinoamericanos -tango, chacarera, candombe, bossa nova- fuertes influencias del jazz y la música clásica contemporánea. 

Audaz creador, Pedro Menéndez propone una concepción sudamericana diferente. Sus melodías son únicas, líricas y complejas. Sus piezas, ricas en armonía y elaborados contrapuntos. Los ritmos locales tradicionales son re-interpretados en prolíficas variaciones polirítmicas, compases irregulares y una variada y desarrollada orquestación.

Virtuoso multi-instrumentalista, Menéndez aborda el Piano, la Guitarra, la Flauta Traversa, el Saxo Soprano y el Bandoneón con asombrosa habilidad.

"COLECCIONISMO - ANTHOLOGY" es una selecta compilación que reúne algunas de las mejores piezas de la vasta discografía de Pedro Menéndez y es parte del repertorio que el músico argentino ha presentando recientemente en Argentina, Brasil, EEUU y Canadá.  

 

 

  PEDRO MENENDEZ is a brilliant composer and multi-instrumentalist.

Known as a pioneering of the Avant Garde fusion sytle in Argentina, Menendez´s music is a personal mangnificent blend of Latin American folk rythms -tango, chacarera, candombe, bossa nova-, jazz and  contemporary classical elements.

As a bold creator, Menendez proposes a different South American concept. Melodies are unique, lyric and complex. Pieces are rich on harmonic modulations and elaborated counterpoints. Traditional local rythms are reinterpreted on prolific polirythms variations, irregular meters and a varied elaborated instrumentation.

As a virtuous multi-instrumentalist, Menendez changes from the Piano to the Guitar, Flute, Soprano Sax or Bandoneon with surprising ability.

"COLECCIONISMO-ANTHOLOGY"is a selected compilation that brings together some of the best pieces of Menendez´s vast discography and is part of the repertoire that the Argentinian musician has been performing recently in Argentina, Brazil, US and Canada.

 

“His music is a whirlwind of the influences ranging fromBrazilian bossa nova, contemporary classical, tango, Argentinian folk, and American jazz.

The music is like a gentle breeze on an otherwise warm still night in a
warm country very much like Argentina.

Its rhythms are graceful. It sways more than it swings. Menendez
tends to remain understated in making his point...

As is the rest of the album, it is simple and wise, graceful and heartfelt.” (Jazzreview.com by John Doll)
