EMILIO SOLLA & AFINES

Emilio Solla-piano, Gorka Benitez-tenor sax, flute, Carlos Morera-bandoneon, David Gonzalez-bass, David Xirgu-drums

The Argentinean piano player and composer Emilio Solla and the group Afines, based in Barcelona, are making waves with completely natural fusions of tango and jazz. This year saw the release of Conversas (a Lado Del Agua), the follow-up to the successful Sentido. ‘Every once in a while appears music of such accomplishment and beauty that it completely transcends boundaries of style or culture to become an instant classic. Sentido (…) contains such music.’ (All About Jazz). With support of Institut Ramon Llull.

Celebrating jazz since 1974
