Julián Muro

Julian Muro / Performing Artist and Composer

“It’s all about breathing life into music… Through transformative, authentic and moving performances, Julián takes his audiences on a rich and expressive cultural journey with each and every song.”
— Rhea March - Artist Advisor (The Banff Centre For Arts And Creativity, Canada)

“Julián has a beautiful voice, a great harmonic sensibility, a sophisticated sense of rhythm, and a very special dramatic instinct. His first album, Dingungu, makes of him, in my opinion, one of the most promising Argentine musicians of his generation.”
— Esteban Buch - Musicologist (Paris, France)

“Julián made a great impression on me as a positive person and a very curious mind. As a multi-instrumentalist and composer, he is showing tremendous talent of combining folklore and contemporary sounds in a unique way… the sky is the limit for this musician.”
— Itamar Erez - Composer, Pianist And Guitarist (Vancouver, Canada)

Born in Patagonia, Argentina but now a "citizen of the world", Julián Muro's music is the result of the encounter between at least two personalities, the one of a singer-songwriter-poet and the one of a composer-conductor-researcher. When these converge on the stage in live performances, the results are enchantingly hypnotic.

Since his first appearance as a composer and musician with the project Songs For Runaway Girls, with whom he toured Canada in the year 2014 performing at festivals such as Malasartes and Wired On Words at Casa del Popolo (MO), young singer, guitarist and composer from Patagonia Argentina, Julian Muro is developing a wide-ranged artistic imprint.

In the year 2015 he conducted his first solo project, by the name of Dingungu, a world-class band he formed alongside Pablo Mendez (musician of Dee-Dee Bridgewater, Tryo, Sapho, Minino Garay, among others).

Julian’s upcoming record, Unterwegs, recorded in September 2019 with Pablo Mendez at Echolane Studios in Germany, features a set of traditional songs from Argentina, Brasil and Cuba arranged in a personal, distinctive way, as well as own compositions.
