Qué Pasa is an album by the Argentine musician Gato Barbieri, released in 1997.[2][3] It was his first studio album in more than a decade.[4] Barbieri supported it with a North American tour.[5] The album was a hit on Billboard's Contemporary Jazz Album chart.[6]
The album was produced by Philippe Saisse.[7] Barbieri and Saisse opted for more of a smooth jazz sound, and also incorporated synthesizers and programmed drums.[8][9] "The Woman I Remember" is a tribute to Barbieri's late wife.[10] "Blue Gala" is dedicated to the physical therapist who aided Barbieri after his 1995 heart surgery.[11] "Mystica" is an interpretation of Erik Satie's Gymnopédies.[12] Barbieri regretted that the album was around an hour in running time, which he thought was too long.[13]
