Born in Buenos Aires (1964), pianist Juan Pablo Dobal came to the Neth- erlands at the age of 25. He is a mod- ern-day virtuoso who refuses to be pigeonholed and feels at home with a diversity of musical styles and hybrids. He has been with Fernando Lameir- inhas’ band for many years and has played with countless musicians. His compositions have been performed by the Metropole Orchestra, Rumbatá
and the Aurelia Saxophone Quartet, among others, and his main source of inspiration is the folk music of his native Argentina.
