Work Overview
Navegar (pronounced nah-veh-gahr) began as a set of sketches written in Buenos Aires, the spiritual heart of tango. The city's blend of quiet introspection and simmering intensity gave rise to a milonga campera, a slow, reflective branch of tango shaped by the characteristic 3+3+2 rhythmic flow central to the nuevo tango tradition of Astor Piazzolla. This pulse forms the expressive foundation of the work.
The title means to sail or venture forward, and the root of the word is nave (nah-veh), which simply means a vessel or boat. Navegar explores the idea of journeying, drawing parallels between navigating open waters and the emotional currents that accompany life's unexpected turns. Its melodic contours rise and fold like distant horizons, creating a sense of travelling through shifting landscapes.
Originally released on the Da Vinci Classics album Bliss of Heaven: Music of the New World in a version for piano and string quartet, the work has since taken on multiple forms. In its orchestral version, Navegar expands its sense of space and colour, allowing the listener to inhabit a broader and more immersive sound world.
