It’s a breathtaking story—a tale of love and passion for Greece. Renowned tango maestro Juan Manuel Hernandez Martin, with a rich discography and a career spanning decades, now performs from faraway Buenos Aires, weaving melodies on the strings of a bouzouki.
At 88 years old, this master of tango brings to life the notes of Tsitsanis and Vamvakaris, alongside his beloved Latin rhythms. And when inspiration strikes, he might even slip into one of his own creations—a prison song, echoing his deep emotional world—right after his celebrated “Tango of August.”
This remarkable artist, a man of global resonance, joins us via Larissa, thanks to a dear friend and fellow musician, Thomas Asteriou, who takes on the role of journalist for a heartfelt conversation. Their long-standing friendship allows for a rare glimpse into the maestro’s soul.
We travel through time and space—on a journey that is real, vivid, and eternal.
We hear Juan playing, singing in Greek with his tender, distinctive accent, and longing for the country he fell in love with—his own Greece, embraced with no borders, no reservations. Like a true Argentine and a master of tango.
