Juan Carlos Caceres Passes Away

7/5/2015

Well known composer, pianist and author of 'Tango Negro', Juan Carlos Caceres sadly passed away from Cancer in April 2015. Caceres was 78 years old and passed away in his home in Paris, France. At university he studied fine arts instead of music but decided to pursue a career in music. He then went on to become highly respected musician within the Buenos Aires Jazz community.

Through the years Caceres became very knowledgable about music surrounding the tango, milonga, murga and candombe. His book 'Tango Neggro' and the music he composed are still enjoyed today.
