While shaped by that experience, he gradually forged his own musical identity, blending tango, jazz, and classical influences into a distinctive style. For \u003cem\u003eBlues Porteno\u003c\/em\u003e, Ziegler collaborates with acclaimed jazz vocalist \u003cstrong\u003eRoberta Gambarini\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather 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 \u003cstrong\u003eHector Del Curto\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eClaudio Ragazzi\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePedro Giraudo\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eFranco Pinna\u003c\/strong\u003e, Ziegler revisits key compositions from his catalogue, introduces new material, and reimagines Piazzolla's classic \u003cem\u003eOblivion\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuenos 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs his first album dedicated entirely to Jazz Tango songs, \u003cem\u003eBlues Porteno\u003c\/em\u003e represents a new chapter in Ziegler's artistic journey - honouring tradition while expanding the possibilities of New Tango through jazz, creativity, and personal expression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IN \u0026 OUT RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":59183158526297,"sku":"SDZ-51279","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":59183158559065,"sku":"SDZ-51280","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/0798747716222_2c9a5b52-d516-4c3e-be56-3892bdae54c4.jpg?v=1787835912","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/pablo-ziegler-roberta-gambarini-blues-porteno-love-letters-from-buenos-aires","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
