Pablo Jaurena Presents Loca Bohemia The First Single from His Upcoming New Album FUEYERIAS

Bandoneon player and composer Pablo Jaurena releases the single Loca Bohemia, by Francisco De Caro, in a version arranged by Norberto Pansera and featuring bandoneon players Daniel Binelli, Santiago Segret, Daniel Ruggiero, and Jaurena himself.

Loca Bohemia will be part of Fueyerías, the new album by renowned bandoneon player, researcher, and producer Pablo Jaurena, which also features Ignacio Varchausky as music producer. Fueyerías is an important production that pays tribute to the paradigmatic tango instrument, bringing together 31 bandoneonists from different generations and styles in works that are historical revivals, new compositions, and new arrangements, recorded in Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Tokyo, Paris, Madrid, and Medellín, making it a true musical documentary.

The presentation of the single Loca Bohemia also has historical overtones: this original arrangement by Roberto Pansera dates back to 1986, when renowned TV host Juan Alberto Badía paid tribute to Astor Piazzolla on his show Badia y Compañia, with Piazzolla himself present in the studio. On that occasion, bandoneonists Leopoldo Federico, Dino Saluzzi, Daniel Binelli, and Rodolfo Mederos premiered Loca bohemia as a bandoneon quartet.

It was for this album, Fueyerías, that the first studio recording of Loca bohemia was made, with four bandoneon players performing live alongside some of the musicians who participated in that encounter, maestro Daniel Binelli, joined by Santiago Segret and Daniel Ruggiero. The maestro Binelli provided the original manuscripts of the arrangement, and Jaurena transcribed the parts that were improvised by the musicians on the television set and made other adjustments (such as a part of improvisation that was planned in the original arrangement but was not done in 1986 and could now be recreated in this version). It was recorded in Buenos Aires in June 2024.

Pablo Jaurena is a bandoneon player, arranger, composer, and conductor. Nominated three times for a Latin Grammy (2021, 2022, and 2023), he has been recognized for his work as a soloist, musician, and composer in internationally renowned tango productions.
