Provinciano by Fernando Huergo

Fernando Huergo is an Argentinean musician living in Boston. It took Argentinean musicians interested in Jazz, who traveled to perform and study this music in the US and Europe from the late ’70s, to begin the fusion of their native music with a Jazz vision. This new generation overlooked the division of Tango and Folclore by being influenced by both. Jazz Argentino is a style developing in many cities around the world and has grown quite fast with the help of the Internet. The most important developments are taking place in Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Rosario, New York, Boston, Paris, Madrid, Rome, Barcelona, and Zurich, among other cities. It is the ambition of Jazz Argentinean musicians to go beyond traditions, and to create music that, while being essentially Argentinean, transcends to the universal.
