Gabriel Palatchi was in born August 3, 1982 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the age of 8, he started his first piano lessons. He then went on to study classical music at the conservatory Manuel de Falla school in Argentina. His studies led him to a Musical Production degree from the ORT High School in Argentina. He further expanded on his studies with a degree in music from the Berklee international School. During this time he studied under many great maestros of Blues, Tango, Jazz and Latin Jazz such as Alvaro Torres, Ricardo Nole and Ernesto Jodos. After graduation, he packed up his piano and started to travel to expand on his musical studies and experiences. It was in Cuba where he met and studied with several maestros including Hilario duran and the master “Chucho” Valdez. He continued his travels to Mexico, where he continued to expand on his musical studies and experience. These experiences led to the composition and production of his first solo CD entitled “Diario de Viaje” (Travel Diary). On this CD, he has gathered the musical arrangements from over 20 accomplished musicians from Latin America. With deep roots in Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz, he has fused together an original sound and style of music that includes Tango, Flamenco, Salsa , Funk & Rock. Currently, he is travelling and promoting his new album in Canada.
Argentinian pianist and composer Gabriel Palatchi offers his third album since 2010 with the genre-bending eclectic and multi-cultural Trivolution, forging a thirteen-piece repertoire of Latin jazz, Middle Eastern, Argentinian Tango, funk and other styles in a vibrant and varied musical package. The pianist--who currently spends his time between Canada, Mexico and Argentina--formed his working trio with Mexican drummer Jose Maria 'Chema' Gonzalez and Canadian bassist Kerry Galloway back in 2010 in Mexico City but includes eleven special guests spread throughout ...
"...The brightest aspect of Diario de Viaje is the manner
in which the ensemble melds together with Palatchi. He
works the idioms and metaphors of various not-so-
disparate cultures into a fine homogenous mixture that
is both delightful and also quite full of surprise. As a
result he is able to create a fresh look at the popular
musical motifs of Argentina, Perú, Colombia, Mexico
and Cuba.
He is a skilled pianist, who plays with refreshing
virtuosity. His mastery of the keyboard does not detract
from his ability to play with nuanced expression. His
style is so adaptable that he can play with fine tumbao,
holding forth with some of the better known pianists of
Cuba and other parts of South America
