Musician, poet, naturalist, and traveler currently in NY.
Born in Patagonia, Argentina which he left to become a contemporary troubadour, Julián Muro's music is the result of the encounter between at least two personalities, the one of a singer-songwriter-poet and the one of a composer-conductor-researcher. When these converge on the stage, the results are enchantingly hypnotic.
He writes the newsletter Carta en una botella/Message in a bottle, and is pursuing the Performer-Composer Master of Music at The New School College of Performing Arts in New York (USA) through a full Merit Award. A New Music USA Awardee, he is currently working on his third alum with production by Dave Douglas.
“It's all about breathing life into music... Through transformative, authentic, and moving performances, Julián takes his audiences on a rich and expressive cultural journey with each and every song.”
— Rhea March - Artist Advisor (The Banff Centre For Arts And Creativity, Canada)
“Julián has a beautiful voice, a great harmonic sensibility, a sophisticated sense of rhythm, and a very special dramatic instinct. His first album, Dingungu makes of him, in my opinion, one of the most promising Argentine musicians of his generation.”
— Esteban Buch - Musicologist (Paris, France)
“Julián made a great impression on me as a positive person and a very curious mind. As a multi-instrumentalist and composer, he is showing tremendous talent of combining folklore and contemporary sounds in a unique way… the sky is the limit for this musician.”
— Itamar Erez - Composer, Pianist, and Guitarist (Vancouver, Canada)
