Bio
" Cristóbal Rey is not the typical pianist and composer. His studies were mostly self-directed and he has seemingly become an advanced arranger by relying on intuition alone. He is now presenting one of the most beautiful author's works of the year.
(Antonio Voland - La Panera entertainment journal - Chile)
" Jazz with a Chilean accent " (Antonio Carlos Michael - Journal O Globo - Brazil)
Cristóbal Rey was presented the Chilean Fondart national arts award in 2005, 2006, 2010 and 2011, and is now simultaneously presenting two works:
Cristóbal Rey Quintet
The "Abya Yala" CD and DVD
Bursting with rhythmic and melodic tones from the South, this composition is aesthetically instrumental. Reflecting today's mosaic in South America, it walks the fine line between embracing and denying modern living, flowing from jazz and folk music in symphonic shades, heir to five hundred years of reinventing Our Americas.
This work has been staged on several occasions in Chile and abroad.
Musicians:
· Gabriela Olivares: cello
· Andrés Perez: clarinet, tenor sax
· Marcelo Córdova: double-bass
· Amaru Lopez: Latin percussion
· Cristóbal Rey: piano, composition and arrangements
