Gardel and the ports

tango show

Thursday 22 August at 17 h

Barraca Peña, Of. Pedro de Mendoza 3003

Roberto Minondi (I sing) and Rodrigo Albornoz (guitar) They perform a handful of tangos and songs that allude to the main ports where Carlos Gardel passed through on his artistic tours..

The ports of Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Chile (Valparaiso) and Uruguay (Montevideo) They received the Creole singer with applause. You will hear the Sevilla pasodoble or the Caprichosa fado and some tangos that refer to the area and the neighborhoods of La Boca and Barracas: That canteen on the riverside, Caminito and Sea Wolf. Some tangos such as Nieblas del Riachuelo or La cantina will also be included in the repertoire., that were composed after Gardel's death but that, surely, he would have incorporated them into his repertoire.

Roberto Minondi is a singer with a long career as a soloist, knowledgeable like few others of the Gardelian repertoire of the early years, in addition to being in the Tango Bardo and La Romántica Milonguera orchestras. Rodrigo Albornoz has carried out an in-depth study of Gardel's guitars, recreating the faithful sound of those thrush companions and dedicating a documentary to the study of that period sound.
