Argentinian composer and guitar virtuoso Diego Muné grew up playing contemporary new music, dodecaphonism, classical music, Argentinian folklore, blues, jazz and

other styles. He started to explore special resonances on the guitar, when he was a little child, developing his own very characteristic way of playing. Touching and full of

energy, he creates flowing phrases, moving melodies and pulsating rhythms, with rapid changes, surprising audiences with his inspiring innovations. He has performed on more than 500 CD productions, recorded music for several films and taken part in different kinds of multi-disciplinary projects. He was the musical director of the film "El

Gran Vuelo", which won prizes of SomCinema, Malaga Film Festival, Alcances, CIMA, AICE, Feroz Puerta Oscura, Sole Luna and others. Diego Muné is also working on scientific research projects. He collaborated with one of the biggest

research centers: the CNR Pisa in Italy, where a team of doctors studied his solo concerts.
