Roberto Aussel

Paths, encounters, surprises, joys, sorrows, gratitude and an infinite space for research have been the components which led me to express in the present recording the feelings this music conveys to me. Europe, Buenos Aires and La Pampa it is a tribute to Astor Piazzolla by a European composer. The music from Buenos Aires and La Pampa harmonize in this record to express the soul of music. As Atahualpa Yupanqui said, a journey is made of endless arrivals. Discovering each of these pieces has given me an enormous motivation to learn and follow new paths, like a true channel telling a musical story. It is as if it were a very long trail. When you walk through it from a point to another to know and explore it, you find rest, you long to walk again to reach a new resting point and to start again. Roberto Aussel’s style is recognizable from his first notes by the warm sounding and the persuasion of his touch. He was born on July 13, 1954 in La Plata, Argentina. He took his first steps with the guitar under the guidance of Norberto Piedrabuena. At this stage he learnt the basics of classical guitar technique and came into contact with the different airs of Argentinean folk music.
