Antoni O’Breskey, an Italian-born composer and pianist of Argentine heritage, has made Ireland his home and spent five decades pushing the boundaries of music.
He is celebrated for pioneering piano improvisation within Irish traditional music and flamenco, seamlessly blending these genres with jazz, blues, and classical influences.
Since the 1970s, his distinctive sound has created a unique bridge between distant musical worlds, earning him recognition as a leading trailblazer and interpreter of world and new age music.
In 1980, he released ‘Irish Meet the Blues, praised for its innovative fusion of Irish tradition and Blues.
In ‘88, with his work ‘Al Kamar’ he brought together Irish music, Jazz, Flamenco and the music from the Maghreb.
‘92 saw the release of ‘Orekan’, a groundbreaking symphonic concept that united classical piano with instruments from diverse ethnic traditions.
Amongst his historical collaborators are: Ronnie Drew (The Dubliners), Mairtin O’Connor (De Dannan), Steve Cooney, Donal Lunny (The Bothy Band), Cathy Jordan (Dervish), Juan Martin, Antonio Carmona (Ketama), Gabin Dabirè, Davide Viterbo, José Seves (Inti-Illimani), Benito Lertxundi and many more.
