“Diego is a fun musician, intelligent, respectful, humble and daring. He plays charango with his heart and his ten hands, which seem to be two.”

Professor Ricardo Moyano

“Diego Jasca is a “musicazo” – to use a very Argentinian term: a great, deep musician who carries sounds in his soul and body, whose music emerges naturally and without speculation. This spontaneity is reflected in his ability to improvise, in his compositions, arrangements and approaches to different musical languages.

Juan Falu, March 2023

MUSICIAN - COMPOSER - ORGANIZER - EDUCATOR

The Argentinian Diego Jascalevich – born in Buenos Aires in 1965 – has lived in Kassel as a musician and composer since 1995. Here he studied classical guitar with Wolfgang Lendle and composition with Dr. Diego H. Feinstein at the Kassel Music Academy. Before coming to Germany, Diego spent several years in Bahia, Brazil, and in Rome.

Engagements took him through Europe, South America, Japan, Russia and the USA. Numerous CD productions with well-known musicians document the versatility of the artist. For example, Diego 19xx performed at Peter Gabriel's World Music Festival in London or can be heard as a guest musician for the Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and for the flamenco guitarist José Luis Montón on their CD productions.

THE MUSICIAN

As an instrumentalist, he has attracted attention with his instrument, the charango, since his youth - he has long been considered the innovator of the playing technique of the small double-stringed guitar and masters it with astonishing virtuosity and joy of playing. Diego developed nNew melodic playing techniques, from which a fascinating sound arises that has never been heard before: rhythmically spirited as well as lyrically.
