Juan Carlos Caceres, "South America's Paolo Conte" (like him he did not start singing before the age of 50) was born in Buenos Aires in 1936 and has lived in Paris since 1968. He is a singer, pianist, composer and painter; one of the very few musicians that have done research into the black origins of Tango and it's complex relation with african and latin-indio rhythm and dance. With his smoky and lascivious voice Caceres sings about life in Buenos Aires, of homesickness and exile and the wounds of time, thus creating an irredescent web of musical-historical cross-connections and socio-political reality. Juan Carlos Caceres expands a sonorous universe in which Jazz and Tango mingle: Dissident and rebellious, he was first a Jazz ambassador in the land of Tango and then a Tango missionary in Europe. He has had ten CDs published and has participated in many important festivals around the world.
Juan Carlos Caceres sows harmonies and paints melodies just as if the Seine fell naturally into the Rio de la Plata.
