about
Abe Rábade was born in Santiago de Compostela (Galiza) on September 8, 1977. He began his musical studies at age 4 in the Historic Conservatory of Santiago, where the method employed for beginners was Kódaly -a way of learning that emphasizes creativity and intuition above all-. He continued his career at the jazz school “Estudio escola de música”, also in Compostela. Solfege was tought with standard jazz songs and he discovered there that improvisation could be the highest expression of this art form called music. In 1995 he went to Berklee College of Music (Boston, USA), where he earned a Cum Laude Degree in Jazz Composition and Piano Performance in 1999. In 2000 he came back to the city he always want to be coming back: Santiago de Compostela. " I'm a musician because I think music is one of the most powerful means for emotional comunication and it also opens the path for intuition. I try not to forget these two factors in all the projects I start out." His first instrument is the piano, and his second the drums. He also compose music and teach. Since 1996 he direct an acoustic jazz trio. It features, at present time, Pablo Martín Caminero (double bass) and Bruno Pedroso (drums). He usually perform and record in other formats as well; quintet and septet mostly. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
