Blues Porteno (Love Letters From Buenos Aires) Pablo Ziegler & Roberta Gambarini
Pickup available at Record Plant Farsley
Usually ready in 24 hours
A classically trained pianist raised with a deep understanding of tango, Ziegler gained
international recognition as a member of Astor Piazzolla's revolutionary quintet. While
shaped by that experience, he gradually forged his own musical identity, blending
tango, jazz, and classical influences into a distinctive style. For Blues Porteno, Ziegler
collaborates with acclaimed jazz vocalist Roberta Gambarini.
Rather than choosing a traditional tango singer, he sought a jazz artist who could
bring a fresh perspective to the music. Gambarini's expressive voice, improvisational
skills, and love of tango give the album its unmistakable jazz character. The title
reflects Ziegler's belief that tango is the "blues" of Buenos Aires - a musical language
through which the city tells its stories. Joined by longtime collaborators Hector Del
Curto , Claudio Ragazzi, Pedro Giraudo , and Franco Pinna , Ziegler revisits key
compositions from his catalogue, introduces new material, and reimagines Piazzolla's
classic Oblivion.
Buenos Aires is a central presence throughout the album, inspiring songs that capture
its beauty, atmosphere, and contradictions. Singing in Spanish, English, and French,
Roberta Gambarini moves effortlessly between lyrical storytelling and instrumental-
style vocal expression. Another recurring theme is milonga, the African- rooted
predecessor of tango. Pablo Ziegler highlights the often-overlooked Black heritage of
Argentine music and its importance in tango's evolution. The album also pays tribute
to the tradition of tango cancion, the vocal form that transformed tango in the
twentieth century.
As his first album dedicated entirely to Jazz Tango songs, Blues Porteno represents a
new chapter in Ziegler's artistic journey - honouring tradition while expanding the
possibilities of New Tango through jazz, creativity, and personal expression.
