Pablo Embon (Argentina)

Pablo Embon is an Argentinian multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger and producer whose 25 original albums explore a distinctive symphonic jazz-fusion palette. Blending influences from jazz icons like Pat Metheny, Chick Corea and Al Di Meola, his music transcends genre boundaries — weaving orchestral textures, world-music colours and cinematic moods to create emotionally rich soundscapes. Recent works bring vision to life via recording sessions with the European Recording Orchestra, transforming his compositions into vivid orchestral flows charged with dramatic feeling. Embon’s unique voice lies in his ability to conjure deep moods and tell stories without words, each track a journey, each album a world to inhabit.
