Dario Boente Nov 24, 2013

The term "crossover artist" can mean many things. In the case of argentine pianist and composer Dario Boente, it means a musician who is equally at home performing romantic Argentine and jazz compositions on a grand piano, as he is programming world-beat electronica.
Dario's musical personality energetically bridges the Jazz-club and the Dance-club, and is a direct outgrowth of his own life. Having been brought up in Argentina and Spain, immersed in the culture of tango and Brazilian music, he pursued his formal studies at Berklee School of Music (Boston) , the Guildhall School of Music (London) the New School Jazz and Contemporary Music Program (New York) and his social life in the Jazz and electronica scene of New York, Madrid, London and Ibiza .
