Pedro Aznar, born on July 23rd, 1959, is a multifaceted Argentine musician, singer-songwriter, and accomplished artist with a rich musical background in jazz, Argentine folk, and rock music.
Throughout his successful solo career, Aznar has been renowned for infusing rock songs with a distinctive jazz-oriented flair, a style that owes a significant debt to the influential Jaco Pastorius. This unique approach has been a hallmark of his work, setting him apart from other musicians.
In addition to his musical talents, Aznar is also a multi-instrumentalist and a published author, having written several volumes of poetry that have been released in Argentina. His impact on Argentine rock is undeniable, with his early appearances in the mid-1970s alongside groups such as Madre Atómica, ALAS, and Pastoral serving as a springboard for his future success.
Aznar's most notable collaboration was with the iconic band Serú Girán, which he joined in 1978. As one of the band's four members, he played a significant role in shaping the group's sound, helping them dominate Argentina's rock scene for the next four years.
In 1982, Aznar received an invitation from the acclaimed guitarist Pat Metheny to join The Pat Metheny Group as a vocalist. During his tenure with the group, he contributed to the recording of three Grammy Award-winning albums, further solidifying his reputation as a versatile and talented musician.
