Diego Jascalevic - Charanga in Concert

“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.

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.
