Born in Argentina and after living and performing in different countries around the world finally settled down in Zürich. This multi-instrumentist, composer, sound engineer, and producer, brings a fine and unique sound on his works, mixing all the styles, from classical to punk join by deep, melancholic and daily human experiences on his lyrics.
Today he is working in many different projects including a collaboration album with the Italian band LO.MO, music for films and theater.
On australian critic’s words;
“Henry Hugo’s musical creations transcend the mediocre of spirit and vision and inhabit a realm that is at one with ambience, emotional atmosphere and intelligence. There is a surreal quality to Henry’s vocals and a delicate, compelling quality to the compositions. This crosses over at times from the clever classical/folk/blues guitar sounds to distortions in electric guitar work, which is always a wonderful counterbalance to the gentile, subtle nature and piquant fretwork. It combines well with his impressions of life’s demands and expectations, some embraced, some neglected and some stolen, some lost forever. Henry is a true artist and more pleasing than other artists of similar genre are, because Henry is true to his soul. He deserves a wider and wiser audience, as his empathy extends outward to his brothers and sisters on the planet…so soulful with gorgeous, deeper, richer tunes. Spirit seems to have delivered Henry and you can hear and feel Spirit in his sounds. if you really listen to his music and let it wash over you, like me, you will see it touches the finer elements of psyche and satisfies with sophisticated, musical mastery. Magna Sensorium! Henry Hugo and his band of troubadours are devotees to the perfecting and defining of a new direction in music.”
