Leonardo possesses a unique spirit and is a virtuoso extraordinaire on the violin…the spirit of the age inhabits him. By this I mean he is a citizen of the world, a modern man in the truest sense. In fact he shows us how easily we can communicate across cultures if the desire and effort are there. Leonardo Suarez Paz is Tango Royalty... powerful and sensual. His knowledge of the tango violin playing conveys a century of individual styles. |
The harmonically sophisticated arrangements by Leonardo Suárez Paz are superb, as is his sardonic Milonga de los monsters – an unlikely yet happy marriage of Prokofiev and tango nuevo.” Leonardo Suarez Paz is surely now the torchbearer of Argentine Tango and the legacy of its greatest composer, Astor Piazzolla. Personifies and embodies the authentic spirit of Tango. |
