Pedro Menendez Fusion Ensemble

Born: September 10, 1957

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 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 dazzling 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. ABOUT PEDRO MENENDEZ BIOGRAPHY: Pedro Menendez was born in Buenos Aires in 1957. He has been dedicated to the music since he was 7 years old
