Escalandrum, an Argentine jazz ensemble, is celebrated for their innovative blend of jazz with traditional Argentine music, bringing a fresh and dynamic perspective to the global jazz scene. Founded in 1999 by Daniel "Pipi" Piazzolla, the grandson of the legendary tango composer Astor Piazzolla, the group has developed a unique sound that honors the rich musical heritage of Argentina while pushing the boundaries of jazz. Their name, a playful blend suggesting both escalade and Piazzolla's surname, captures the essence of their musical journey—ascending and exploring new territories.

Over the years, Escalandrum has released a series of acclaimed albums, each showcasing their ability to blend genres seamlessly. Their discography, including titles like "ESCALECTRIC" and "Milonga Del Fin Del Mundo," reflects their commitment to exploring the intersections of jazz with Argentine folk, tango, and even rock. Through compositions like "Himno Nacional Argentino" and "Como la Cigarra," they have reinterpreted Argentine classics with a jazz sensibility, earning both critical and popular acclaim. This innovative approach has not only won them numerous awards but also solidified their status as torchbearers of the Argentine music tradition on the international stage, captivating audiences worldwide with their sophisticated performances and deeply rooted musical narratives.
