Christian Basso
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christian Basso (born 1966) is a music composer, multi instrumentals performer and writer. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, he currently lives and works there.
He was formed on classical piano with Klaus Cabjolsky, contrabass with Manolo Stalman, guitar with Walter Malosetti, harmony & composition with Daniel Montes and Klaus Cabjolsky and also studied Philosophy at the University of Buenos Aires.
His career began in 1982 and developed over the years, starting with jazz and avant garde rock bands, playing bass and keyboards among other well known local artists like Charly Garcia.
In 1989, he formed La Portuaria, a band with which he recorded five albums for record label EMI. His first most popular songs emerged at that moment.
The band toured the whole country and Latin America and also played different concerts in the USA, Spain, France, etc.
In 1996, La Portuaria split up and he began his solo career.
His solo albums are Profania (2000), La Pentalpha (2003) and now is finishing his third one, Espiritista. His albums were always well received by the specialist press.
He composed music for Film, Advertising (Young & Rubicam, DC Nazca, etc), Television (Canal 9, Canal A, R&P TV, etc), Dance (Teatro Colón) and Multimedial audiovisuals and also made music that formed part of soundtracks (Starmaps (Usa, 1995) / Sexo, Pudor y Lagrimas (Mexico, 1996) / Dot the I (Uk, 2003)) and many short films and documentals (El Bote, Fear No Evil, etc).
His music combines popular elements from rock, jazz, country music, tarantella and tango, with classical music and the tradition of soundtrack composers; all of this is filtered through the cultural perspective of a city like Buenos Aires, with its unique and particular multiplicity of cultural and ethnic influences.
