Juan Trigos, is a Mexican composer and conductor, born February 26, 1965, in Mexico City.
Composer and conductor, creator of the concept Abstract Folklore. This concept is based on principles such as the primary pulsation, the resonance and the obsessive use of polyrhythmic and polyphonic interlocking musical events and segments of different density and duration. In the Abstract Folklore there is an inclination towards big format works, with numerous groups of instruments, characterized by abundant utilization of percussion instruments. It may also be distinguished two main directions: vocal music (opera and sacred music), and instrumental with particular predilection for the Concertante forms.
Among his most representative works are Magnificat Guadalupano, Missa Cunctipotens Genitor Deus, 6 Ricercares de Cámara, and his guitar, piccolo, double-bass and triple concertos. Highlight in particular Symphony N. 1 and the creation of a new genre called Hemoficction Opera[1]. He has presented and conducted in Mexico and Europe his Operas DeCachetitoRaspado and Mis Dos Cabezas Piensan Peor Que Una. His music has been performed in several cities in Europe, and North America, central and south.
