Diego Janssen Biography
Diego Janssen (born December 9, 1981) is a multi-instrumentalist loopingartist, composer and record producer from Uruguay.
His debut album ‘El hijo de’ was nominated for the Premios Graffiti, the Uruguayan equivalent of the Grammys. Critics have called ‘El Hijo De’ one of Uruguay’s best albums of the decade– breaking ground for a new evolution of candombe (Afro Uruguayan rythm).
He has been awarded a Uruguayan National Music Award twice in the jazz fusion category.
As a composer he does not cling to any particular style, although there’s a clear tendency to experimentation and the fusion of elements of Uruguayan roots music (candombe, tango, folk) with global jazz and afrobeat, as well as the influence of his time in the studio as a producer and his academic studies in music and technology.
“El hijo de” straddles tribal atmospheres with a clear tendency to experimentation and fusion of world music. The rhythmic beats of Afro-South American roots meets progressive rock and jazz blues going through both psychedelic and mantric trips.
