About

Juan Pablo de Lucca is an Argentinian composer, sound artist, and electronic musician based in Berlin. His practice moves between acoustic composition, live electronics, sound installation, and tango, shaped by over fifteen years of performance, recording, and collaboration across Europe and South America.

Born in Buenos Aires into a family steeped in tango (his grandfather is the legendary singer Alberto Castillo), de Lucca began his career as a pianist and arranger in the Buenos Aires tango scene, performing and recording with musicians including Osvaldo Peredo, Chino Laborde, and Cucuza Castiello, and touring with dance companies such as Leonardo Cuello's Milongas de Carnaval and Zotto's Te Siento Tango. As a founding member of El Muro Tango, he arranged and recorded the albums Nostálgico (Galileo Music) and Manifiesto (Sony Music Argentina).

Since relocating to Berlin, his work has expanded into experimental sound, live electronics, and installation. Recent projects include Los pies que habitan este suelo, a participatory sound installation presented at Collegium Hungaricum Berlin (2025), and the audiovisual works Buenos 4ires and VA 2161, which premiered at the Pan-Gea Global South Film Festival (2023). As founder of Tango Klub, a Berlin-based electronic tango ensemble, he continues to bridge club culture and South American tradition, most recently through their debut EP María (2024).

He has performed internationally in settings ranging from concert halls including the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and Haus der Musik in Innsbruck, to clubs and festivals such as Lusatia, Bucht der Träumer, and the Oslo Chamber Music Festival. Upcoming releases include the EP Glitch (Jazz-o-Tech, 2026), the ambient piano and electronics album Second Thoughts (Dora Sound Press), and a field recordings project about the city of Buenos Aires.
