Inspired by the boleros, tangos, and bossa novas his mother played for him as a child growing up in Buenos Aires (Argentina), Aubele imbues this musical mix with elements of rock, dub, downtempo electronica, and jazz.

Aubele’s songs are at once intimate and personal, yet speak of broad human experiences. “Your inspiration always comes from your internal world and your feelings,” said Aubele, “But you expose that through your art in a way that other people can connect with. That’s where it starts becoming universal.”

Aubele has toured with such diverse artists as Thievery Corporation (whose label ESL he is signed to) and Diana Krall.
