Mauricio Kagel
Mauricio Kagel, born in Buenos Aires in 1931, was a pioneering figure in the world of avant-garde music, known for his distinctive and often subversive compositions. As a self-taught composer, Kagel began his musical journey in 1950, deliberately steering away from the neoclassical style that dominated the era. His work is characterised by a creative debunking of musical traditions, paying homage to the past while forging new paths. Kagel's influence is particularly notable in the realm of experimental music, where he challenged conventions and explored innovative soundscapes. Among his most emblematic works is 'Exotica,' composed in 1970-71 for a modern art exhibition. Kagel's legacy endures as one of the major figures in new music, leaving behind a body of work that continues to inspire and provoke.
