It might be easier to list the styles that Axel Krygier doesn't play, reference or turn inside out than to tie this maverick artist dynamo down to any category. In performance, the Chaplinesque keyboard wizard and digital de-constructor seems able to reach into any style file and reassemble the ingredients before your very ears, creating feelgood blasts of demented pop, trash tango, crazed cumbias, psychedelia tropicale and spaced-out Latin funk (for example), while dancing, singing, jumping, gesticulating and playing the keyboards too. A key figure in the alternative music scene in Argentina, he has run the gamut of playing in rock bands, composing scores for acclaimed theatrical productions to being a forerunner of the digital cumbia movement. In 2011 he toured Europe with his Paris-based band, leaving critics everywhere claiming they'd seen a star born.
