Astor Piazolla once called Raul Jaurena one of the greatest bandoneon players ever.
Raul Jaurena is regarded as a musician who can claim a direct link to Piazzolla before the great composer’s death in 1992 – Jaurena’s masterful playing exemplified tango’s schizophrenic tones and moods. Nervous and edgy, lusty and full-bodied, mournful and nostalgic – Jaurena wrested it out of an instrument that has one the most compellingly unique voices
