PEDRO MENÉNDEZ
"PETER´S SONGS"
PEDRO MENENDEZ is a brilliant composer and multi-instrumentalist.
Wellknown 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 definitely 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 new 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 throughout a long impressive national and international career destined to keep growing: Argentina, Brazil, North America and Europe.
On “PETERS SONGS”, PEDRO MENENDEZ shows a different facet and goes deeper into the field of lyrics. Mystery of nature, human essence, cultural, social and political roots of South American continent are poetically reflected with beauty, simplicity and humanity. As a composer, MENENDEZ amazes with an incredibly rich work on harmonies and vocal arrangements and shows himself as an unique eclectic artist full of valuable proposals and restless quests on South American alternative musical expressions.
