Puma by Juan María Solare

Puma is a neo-tango I composed and recorded years ago — but I’m only releasing it now, as part of the Solarian August Festivities (*).

This vibrant, rhythmically rich piece has accompanied me on stages across the world: from Texas to Buenos Aires, Mar del Plata, Berlin, Hamburg, Madrid, Denmark, and London (St Martin-in-the-Fields church). Because it’s one of the works that best represents me and one that feels deeply personal.

Genres: tango nuevo / Latin jazz / solo piano.
Duration: 2:18
Recorded: 26 August 2013, on the Bösendorfer grand piano at the University of Bremen

If you enjoy elegant grooves, heartfelt melodies, or modern tango with a twist — Puma is worth a listen.

(*) My birthday is on August 11th — hence the festive timing.
