On his new album Colombian-born pianist Pablo Rojas presents piano music from five Latin-American countries. These diverting pieces tell of the history of South America, Spanish and Portuguese reign and the incorporation of Indigenous and African culture. Adding to works by the popular Ginastera and Piazzolla, Rojas discloses a world of gems by lesser known composer like Luis Calvo, Ernesto Nazareth, Ernesto Lecuona, Ignacio Cervantes, Carlos Vieco, Horacio Salgan or Gerry Weil. They stand for a wonderful mixture of most diverse influences and styles and reflect folklore from the Andes and Argentinian tango as well as dances and waltzes from Cuba, Colombia and Brasil, while at the same time roaming the border to jazz.

Pablo Andrés Rojas De Los Ríos, who was born in Pasto, Colombia, completed his piano studies at the Universidad de Antioquia (Colombia), where he graduated with distinction. Pablo came to Vienna in order to study piano pedagogy at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst under Professors Carlos Rivera, Harald Ossberger and Michael Lipp. Pablo has performed as a soloist with the Symphonic Orchestra of Colombia, the Philharmonic Orchestra of Bogotá, the Symphonic Orchestra of Barranquilla (Colombia), the Philharmonic Orchestra of Medellín (Colombia), and the Symphonic Orchestra of Yucatán (Mexico). As an orchestral musician Pablo has played with, among others, the Tonkünstler Orchester Niederösterreich. In the season 2015/16 he worked as a theatre musician in the Volkstheater in Vienna.

In 1997 and 1999 Pablo won second prize in the National Colombian Piano Competition, organised by the Universidad Industrial de Santander. In 2009 and 2012 he was invited to this competition as a jury member and head of the master classes.He teaches at the music school in Waidhofen an der Ybbs and, since 2013, at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Vienna. As well as classical music Pablo also devotes himself to folklore and the popular rhythms of his culture of origin for instance in the duo Barembuem-Rojas, which explores the essence of the Argentinean tango as folk music. In 2009 this duo released their first album -«Volver» (Spanish: to return) – with a number of their own sensitive arrangements under the label REChord Sounds, Vienna.
