Horacio Fumero

Horacio Fumero is an Argentine-born double bass virtuoso and a cornerstone of Barcelona’s jazz scene since the 1970s. Known for his warm, lyrical playing and deep roots in tango and Latin jazz, Fumero has become a beloved figure in European jazz circles. His career spans collaborations with legends like Tete Montoliu and Eliane Elias, blending his Buenos Aires upbringing with Catalan flair. Whether leading his own groups or anchoring ensembles, his work—from the introspective *Solo Bass Songs* to the lively *Contrabajeando*—showcases a storyteller’s touch and a knack for bridging genres.

Based in Barcelona, Fumero remains a dynamic force, seen in projects like the *Transatlantic Jazz Sextet* and the raw emotion of *Conversaciones desde el arrabal amargo*. His recent releases, including *Los Fumeros* and *Desde Barcelona*, celebrate his dual identity as a porteño (native of Buenos Aires) and adopted son of Catalonia. A mentor and performer, he’s shaped Spain’s jazz landscape while keeping the contrabass front and center—no small feat in a world of six-string heroes.
