Dino Saluzzi<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One of the most fascinating bandoneonists of our time is called Dino Saluzzi. It combines the traditional way of playing the bandoneon in Argentine folklore and tango with the genres of contemporary music: thus it moves very freely between popular music, jazz, pop and contemporary classical music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to his CDs Kultrum and Cit\u00e9 de la Musique, both released by the ECM label, I love the Pop Pop CD by singer Ricky Lee Jones, in which Saluzzi plays the bandoneon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dino Saluzzi was born on May 20, 1935 in Campo Santo, province of Salta, in northwestern Argentina. Already in his mother’s womb he heard his father play the bandoneon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No wonder Dino Saluzzi has become a great virtuoso of music, both as a performer and composer! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I met him personally in 1999 in Austria, where he gave concerts with his family. We later completed our interview in Zurich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our talk turned into a 90-minute conversation in which Dino Saluzzi and his family talk about so many extremely interesting topics around music and life in general that I want to share this entire interview with you. Therefore, I will divide it into three parts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very welcome then to another episode of our podcast series The Masters of Music Count, today with the magnificent bandoneonist and composer Saluzzi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the interview <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>“We are a family of musicians and, in a way, we have a how could we say? a certain ease in diction. We speak in a particular way in the village where we were born. We conceive in a particular way, we have our perceptions in a particular way.<\/em>

It’s interesting. Fight. It’s not always right. We have different points of view, but always in favor of offering the best, of having the possibility of taking responsibility for what one does in the best possible way. Not the mad rush of demonstrating power or muscle, but a message to feeling and heart<\/em>“. (Dino Saluzzi)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Biographies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Musician from Salta (Salta, Argentina) who, despite being an appreciated and respected musician in Europe, in his own country is little spread. Saluzzi began in popular music in Salta, in which his own father participated. From his youth he was therefore linked to the musical tradition of the province, surrounded by authors such as Cuchi Leguizam\u00f3n, Juan Carlos and Jaime D\u00e1valos, or Manuel Castilla. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his first period, supported by several years of professional activity in tango, folklore and jazz orchestras, he accompanied Los Chalchaleros in a handful of works that reinforced his recognition as a folklorist. In a way, it is Saluzzi who popularized the bandoneon in the 1970s in this music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, he approached jazz fussion, participating in productions with Nestor Astarita, Baby L\u00f3pez F\u00fcrst, Bernardo Baraj, Fats Fern\u00e1ndez and others, in the group Buenos Aires Jazz Fussion particularly. From this period is the album recorded with Leon Gieco that includes Solo le pido a Dios, and his work Dedicatoria.
Since the late eighties, coinciding with his hiring by the ECM label, Saluzzi moved to Europe, where he achieved his greatest recognition and dissemination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saluzzi has participated in the last twenty years of multiple meetings with leading figures of contemporary music, including also the elaboration of film soundtracks: Nouvelle Vague, All about my mother, Kadosh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
